edo tsuba demon;s

[BOB COLEMAN]

A nice Late Edo tsuba. I am not qualified to ascribe a school to this work. My main focus of study was always blades and sukashi tsuba. Bob Haynes would be the best source I know who could give you further information on the piece. If you contact him, please say hello from me.

That is the "Japanese Thor" -- Raijin (Kaminari sama) the god of thunder and lightening. Your tsuba shows him beating on the drums creating thunder.

I am having difficulty posting pictures presently due to an updated program that was installed on my computer. When it gets straightened out, I will post pictures.

I have not seen Bob for over ten years and at the time, neither of us were involved with computers and email. Unfortunately, I can not help with contact information.
