Hello,
the decoration is slightly engraved in gold. The inscription is much deeper, what makes me wonder, maybe this is later ? How i told it is my first attempt thanks so far Dirk |

signed tsuba
Dirk,
This is a very suspicious item. Mokko refers to 4-lobed so this is NOT mokko-gata. I also would have a hard time calling it Shoami -since it appears to be "soft metal." Actually it looks like brass. The signature is something like Bushu ju MasaSomething, siggesting that it was made in Musashi. BUT, I have a very hard time beleiving that a Japanese cut that signature. It just doesn't look "right." This would be a good item to put on one or another of the Japanese sword forums. Peter |
