FT-179 Akasaka Tadanori Tsuba


 
Rare signed example of Akasaka Tadanori

Tadanori worked during the 1700’s under Tadatoki and was one of his top students (thus being allowed to sign his own name). His skill is said to be equal of his master, and it shows in this piece. This design of Nagekiri is a classic one, and was also used by the famous Higo schools as well. The iron is very nice, the forging is actually visible in the rim. Highly collectable for those that love Akasaka.
