Shakudo tsuba by Ichijio School with NBTHK Hozon Tosogu. Gotō Ichijiō was one of the greatest tosogu artist in Japanese history. While being part of a Gotō family he created his own distinctive style that was passed to his students. This type of snowflake tsuba was one of his iconic images. There are many signed and unsigned examples of very similar works.   

Gotō Ichijiō was born in 1791 as a son of Gotō Jūjō, 4th generation master of Shichirōemon line (side line of Gotō family). Due to his superb craftsmanship in 1805 he was appointed as a new successor to Hachirōbei line (side line of Gotō family). In 1862 he received an order for tachi koshirae from Emperor Kōmei, for which he was promoted to the rank of Hōgen in 1863. He died in 1876 at the age of 86.

This tsuba showcase many of Ichijō School major characteristics. It is made of blue coloured shakudo with polished ground, that has been altered with very small ground surface finish. In this particular case there are 3 distinctive sizes of the ground finish. From very small that is almost invisible, through medium size to large one that creates visual effect equal to snowflakes. Raised rim is another characteristic often seen on Ichijō School tsuba.

This particular piece unfortunately has some damages to it. There are deep scratches on the upper left side of the back and damages on the rim. Those were made long ago and patina is not damaged in those places. Mostly on and around seppa dai there are very small screeches made recently, probably in a very unprofessional attempt to clean it. Those new scratches did not remove the patina, so there are no spots where unpatineted shakudo is visible. 

This tsuba is more glossy than other of this type I have seen. I do not know the reason for it, however it is not covered with lacquers or oils. 

Made in 19th century. 

Size: 79 mm x 73 mm 

In custom made kiri box.

Perfect for Adding Privacy to a Piano Studio
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W, Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
I Ordered the 2 Panel version which is way too big for my needs... that's on me. So keep in mind that the picture shows a fabric made for two panels only being used on one and hence it is not pulled tight; it would pull tight and not be so wrinkly if it was set up properly as two panels. The metal pools that make up the panels seem to be well made, stable, and of good quality. They were very easy to put together and they stand up tall with plenty of height. The appearance of it with the fabric on it isn't as elegant as it could be, but it still looks good enough. The material is plenty solid, not allowing light through it, and thereby making a solid barrier. I am using it to block the view out the studio door when a student is sitting at the piano to avoid distractions from the hallway. It will allow a student to enter the studio with our distracting the student who is at the piano.

Room Divider That Gives Instant “This Is a Separate Space Now” Energy
Size: 3 Panel 12FT W
The Siebwin 3 Panel Folding Privacy Screen is surprisingly effective at changing the feel of a room without requiring construction, commitment, or somebody yelling about load bearing walls. The 12 foot width gives a substantial amount of coverage, making it useful for creating privacy, dividing open areas, blocking visual clutter, or setting up temporary sections within larger rooms. This saved us a ton of time and money in our new studio and enabled us to create a kitchen and office in one room. The wider feet make a huge difference because flimsy room dividers that collapse every time someone exhales too aggressively are deeply annoying. This one feels more stable and grounded once positioned. The folding design makes it easy to move around or adjust depending on the space, and it folds down relatively compactly when not in use. It is basically the introvert curtain wall of dreams. The material has a clean, neutral look that blends well into different room styles without screaming “temporary office cubicle panic.” It works well for apartments, studios, shared spaces, dressing areas, or simply hiding the mountain of chaos you swear you are going to organize tomorrow. Practical, portable, and refreshingly easy to use without turning setup into a three hour emotional event.

It's 2 panels holding 1 big privacy screen. Can't use as 2 separate 4' panels, but works great.
Size: 2 Panel 8FT W
This 2 panel privacy screen works well. Assembly was very straight forward, with easily labeled tubes. My son and I had it together in about 10 minutes, which was probably 3 minutes of me telling him to quit playing around and hand me the parts. It feels very sturdy, not likely to fall over or anything. The material fits well, with the Velcro being very strong. Measurements are all very accurate, with all pieces attaching properly. We have a similar privacy screen at work that we have to try and stretch out because the top and bottom Velcro doesn't fit quite right... this model does not have any issues though. The material is thin and light weight, but solid black so that you can't see anything through or behind it. I definitely think it's a great deal for the money. What I think would have given it 5 stars though, is if you had 2 totally separate 4' panels instead of 2 panels with one big screen. It really wouldn't cost any extra to make it so that the screen was in 2 pieces and you could use it as 2 separate panels instead of having to use it as one big panel. It says 2 panel folding privacy screens, but it's really one big one that folds in the middle.

Great value, perfect for our infant room!
Color: Black, Size: Standard - 4 Panel
Great product, sturdy design and easy to build! It is a fairly light weight item, which aids in the maneuverability of the divider. The color was as described and is dark enough to block the light from our sleeping infants! I do love that you are able to see through the slats and see the child sleeping- if you are looking for something with MORE privacy, this is not it. It has great coverage area and is dark and a wonderful value for the price, however, you are able to see through the areas where each panel connects!
