Four Fuji San Tsuba &
Bamboo Sukashi Tsuba
TS0328
Two very attractive tsuba:
Four Fuji Sukashi: 7.55 cm x 7.42 cm x 5.5 mm. Very good iron and color. Some martinsite visible on the surface. A collectable tsuba.
Bamboo Sukashi: 7.61 cm x 7.62 cm x 5.5 mm. Very good iron, good color. Early Edo. My guess is later Owari. Some forging flaws: top of seppa dai and bottom bamboo stock on the left image. Also a divot is missing from lower right seppa dai, and the left around the kozuka ana. I believe that this tsuba may have been annealed, and the heat blew out the poorly forged areas. $1,000 for the pair.
