raaay Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 Hi someone told me a story many years ago about tsuba being used to cover the light switch's in a house it may be the case with the extra holes for fixing to the wall or a panel ray Quote

Bazza Posted April 24, 2012 Report Posted April 24, 2012 A friend of mine found a beautiful shakudo tanto tsuba mounted on an umbrella - it had just such a round hole to fit it. Very sad to see it so mutilated as otherwise it was in excellent condition with a high relief iroe peony. Regards, BaZZa. Quote

Mantis dude Posted April 27, 2012 Report Posted April 27, 2012 I have one that was done and it was theorized that perhaps it was retrofitted to a polearm. Since I never held or really seen one, I don't know but I think there is a reason other than for housing supplies. Quote
