Steve Waszak Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Greetings guys, Any thoughts about the school that produced this tsuba? I've got an idea or two on this, but I'd like to get your views. Thanks, Steve Quote
Steve Waszak Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Henry, Alas, I am unable to post a photo... I believe the tsuba to be of the Ono school, but I'm wondering if it might not be an armorer's tsuba. If you'd like to see it, and are a member of the nihontostudy group in the Yahoo Groups, you can find it in my photo album under Steven_88_2000... I have two photos of it posted there... Thanks!

Ludolf Richter Posted April 10, 2007 Report Posted April 10, 2007 Hi Steve, I have a very similar Tsuba with fine patina.It is from an old pre WWII collection.The owner believed it to be a Yagyo-Tsuba,displaying a Kuruma (wheel) or even a Omigoruma (devil's wheel).The pic is not good:there had been to much light.Ludolf Quote
Steve Waszak Posted April 10, 2007 Author Report Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks, Ludolph. A very useful photo reference. The Yagyu-Ono connection is a murky one, I think...but it would certainly seem there is a link between the tsuba in your photo and this one. Thanks again. Steve Quote
