Subject:Tsuba - maker, age, material?
Posted By: Stan Tue, Jun 04, 2024 IP: 75.68.227.12

Fellow Asian art lovers,

I was in an antique store last week and had to buy this tsuba for $60. Now, I am trying to find out what I have. I would appreciate any help with the maker and age.

The size is a little bigger than most tsubas I have seen. It is a little bigger than 3 inches top to bottom and a little smaller than 3 inches side to side. I think the material is shibuichi. Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Cheers,
Stan

Thanks for your help. From my research, I suspected it was a later repro. That will teach me to pick up things on the spur of the moment.

Cheers,
Stan
