Soshin Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Posted May 14, 2011 Good question, I can't ever recall seeing one! Anyone else? Here is a poor cast iron Nanban tsuba from the Meiji Period I remember selling a while ago on eBay. It came with a habaki and seppa that fit the tsuba. The tsuba example on the book above looks like the nakago-ana has been modified to fit a western saber. I remember seeing a similar type nakago-ana on a Nanban tsuba at the Florida Token Kai this year. Yours truly, David S. Quote
Soshin Posted May 15, 2011 Author Report Posted May 15, 2011 Here is a link to a very interesting Edo Period Nanban tsuba in Japan: http://www.e-sword.jp/sale/2011/1110_6021syousai.htm. As a main feature of the Nanban tsuba is the VOC logo for the Dutch East India Company. I really like this Nanban tsuba but it is now sold. Yours truly, David S. Quote
