  Higo Kamiyoshi Fukanobu Tsuba

  The now closed Japanese Sword Fittings Museum attributed a very similar tsuba to be the work of Fukanobu whom was second generation of the Kamiyoshi School. The direct attribution to Fukanobu was likely made due to very distinct punch mark pattern around the central opening (nakago-ana on the front side of the tsuba) which are very, very similar to the punch marks on this one. He made tsuba and other sword fittings on a full-time basis for the ruling Hosokawa Family in Higo Province modern day Kumamoto Prefecture. He lived from 1798-1851.
