This Tsuba and many more are on display at The Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh.

 

I just love this tsuba and the design and i'm just wondering if anyone has one like it

sorry I only have a photo of one side only.

 

enjoy,

This is a nice one indeed!

 

I don't own a TSUBA like that, but I have an old straw hat that looks similar.....

As I said: it might be an old straw hat.

Hi Jean.C

 

Sorry, did not pick up first time on the straw hat theme .

 

After checking the Museum web site again , that is what it is described as, with the attribution to - Inaba provence / 18th century / Surga

Hmmm... maybe a Star Wars fan?

 

Nice tsuba... but reminds me of the Millenium Falcon!

Hi,it's a shame,that the artist didn't sign with his Go but rather with the family name Suruga.They moved from Bizen to Tottori/Inaba in the 17th Century and changed the family name from Haruta to Suruga:

Muneie H 06081 died 1636(?)

Iehisa H 01775 died 1661

Toshiie H 10377 died 1720

Takaiie H 09274 died 1761

Takatsugu H 09330 died 1788 brother Takayuki H 09348

Takashige H 09311 died 1837 brother Takayoshi H 09338

Takaoki H 09304 died 1856

Takayuki H 09349 died 1895

From the few Mei pics in my database I could not find the artist from the above list.Ludolf

Hi Ray.

Always been interested in this school. Here is one, http://www.silk-road.us/kazumits1.html And if I can find the catalogue one came up for sale a while ago. I agree with you it's really nice.

 

All the best.
