historian2 Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Would this be a dragon? and what type of tsuba is this one. Erich Quote
Lee Bray Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Looks more like a Shishi dog with the short face and hair. Quote
k morita Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Hi, Yes, not a dragon. :D The motif of this tsuba is a Chinese lion ("karajishi") and peony flower("botan"). "Karajishi-botan" is popular motif. Quote
Mark Green Posted May 12, 2011 Report Posted May 12, 2011 Yes shishi, and peonies, for sure. Is there something on the back? Is this the true color? Looks to be shibuichi maybe. I like it. More pics please. Quote
historian2 Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Posted May 29, 2011 Its some type of layered copper, probably shibuichi the back is just plane. Erich Quote
