Jimmy Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Greetings, My wife is Japanese and she has tried to translate the name on the tsuba--the writing is "old" Japanese so she is not quite certain about some of the characters. The name on the upper right side she translated as "Genshosai" and the name on the lower left she translated (top two characters only) as either "Sei shun" or "Masaharu" (most likely Masaharu), but she has no idea about the bottom character. There are books with Japanese sword makers signatures so you should be able to find this person--you can probably find him with a little internet research. Good Luck, Jimmy McNeil Hello I just bought a tsuba and want to know who is the creator of this piece bonjour je viens d'acheter une tsuba et je voudrais savoir qui est le créateur de cette pièce this is my first tsuba difficult! wiart christophe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanM Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Japanese sword makers did not make tsubas,tsuba making was an art set apart from swordmaking. Something about the tsuba does not look right,you can join the forum in the link below for people that have experience with tsubas.
