Masayoshi Serpent Tsuba
K0065
SOLD
A classic Serpent tsuba signed Masayoshi (kakihan). 7.32 cm x 7.04 cm x 6.9 mm. A shinchu tsuba with silver belly scales, some of the silver worn. The red tongue appears to be a lacquer addition, not and inlay. I have not been able to reference this kakihan in Haynes. However, there are a number of Masayoshi working in late Edo and into early Meiji, which is when I feel that this tsuba dates from. $2,500
