Q140. Gasaku (Joint Work) Iron Sukashi Tsuba

$255.00

Q140.  Iron tsuba with gold nunome highlights.  7 x 7.4 x .3 cm at the rim (.45 cm at the seppa dai).  The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 2.6 cm.  Markus Sesko has translated the signature for me:

Sōryūsha Masayoshi (想⿓舎・正義)
Banzai Tsuguhide tsukuru (萬歳・継秀造)
[Translator’s note: This appears to be a joint work, with Tsuguhide forging the plate and Sōryūsha Masayoshi
making the tsuba. Banzai means “Long live the Lord/Master”]

Beautiful work here and in excellent condition.  The gold is meant to be discontinuous; little or none of it is missing.  $255.
