Shibuichi Tsuba
K0069
SOLD
A wonderfully detailed shibuichi tsuba with shakudo gold and silver zogan. 6.55 cm x 5.91 cm x 3.9 mm at the mimi. I had no idea where this fit, but thought that it was a wonderful piece, and knowing that I could contact Robert Haynes, I would find out who, what, why, and where. Bob's comment, "This is absolutely wonderful work, and I have no idea who it is". Not even a school. Disappointing. So much for fantasies of finding a Natsuo, Ichijo, or some other illustrious artist. So it is what it is, a very beautiful shibuichi wakizashi tsuba. There goes my hopes for fame and fortune, though I would have gladly forgone the fame and settled for the fortune. $950
