Higo Pine Tsuba
TS001
A classic Higo Kamiyoshi design of a sukashi pine
7.3 cm high x 6.6 cm wide 5.1 mm thick. Good color, suface tekotsu. NBTHK
Hozon. However, not Kamiyoshi.

Unfortunately this is one of those Higo tsuba which its not possible to
attribute to any of the main Higo schools as it doesn’t exhibit any key
identifying features.
It could have been made by later tsuboi
workers or even an amateur samurai or even Nishigaki Kanpei
Best to describe as strong Higo work of
the pine tree design - with NBTHK papers attesting to its quality and
condition but unfortunately not specifically attributing which Higo school
in came from.
