| Many Soten tsuba are either fake signed, or are mass produced. However, occasionally we can see an example that is of much higher quality than the norm seen on ebay. Mogarashi Soten himself was actually a very good tsuba artist. It is just the fact that his school was so productive, it made actually too many tsuba of poor quality. But when we find a real signed example, it is easy to see the difference in quality. So for you collectors out there that want a real Soten not mass produced, here is a legitimate one!
Large iron plate with fine sukashi of the elite crowd enjoying life. Trees, boat and waves very well carved. Figures well carved with heavy gold inlay for the design details.One can really appreciate the skill of Soten when studying this piece, the gold work is so fine it is incredibile!. Fine shakudo liners for the kozuka/kogai hitsu. Shakudo rim.ied.
