The tsuba is usually a round (or occasionally squareish) guard at the end of the grip o…f bladed Japanese weapons, like the katana and its various variations, tachi, wakizashi, tant , naginata etc. They contribute to the balance of the weapon and to the protection of the hand. The tsuba was mostly meant to be used to prevent the hand from sliding onto the blade during thrusts as opposed to protecting from an opponent's blade. Tsuba are usually finely decorated, and nowadays are collectors' items. Tsuba were made by whole dynasties of craftsmen whose only craft was making tsuba. They were usually lavishly decorated. In addition to being collectors items, they were often used as heirlooms, passed from one generation to the next. Japanese families with samurai roots sometimes have their family crest (mon) crafted onto a tsuba. In exceptionally good condition.

Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional snapshots. . In 1952 Robert E. Haynes was accepted at the Slade School of Fine Art, U…niv. of London. By this time he had been collecting Japanese sword fittings for ten years. In London he met W.W. Winkworth, at Sotheby's Auction House, and B.W. Robinson, at the V & A Museum, both of these venerables became his good friend. After a year at the Slade, and having won the student prize in oil painting, he returned to the U.S. He became a student at U.C.L.A. and was very fortunate to have had the late John Rosenfield as his teacher of Japanese Art 1A. After graduation from U.C.L.A. he went to Okayama Japan, in 1960, at the urging of John Yumoto, his first teacher in sword fittings, to study sword fittings with Dr. Kazutaro Torigoye, who was the last student of Akiyama Kyusaku (1844-1936), and the leading expert of his day. Akiyama was the founder of the study of sword fittings and kodogu. After a years study he went with Dr. Torigoye to Tokyo and was able to view many of the most important fittings in Japan, both in museums and in private collections. After his return to the U.S. he helped found the various Japanese sword clubs that function to this day. In 1963 he returned to Europe, and in London, was introduced to Neil Davey by Billy Winkworth, at Sotheby's, and Neil, he is proud to say, has been his friend these many years. In 1971 he returned to Japan, at the invitation of John Harding who had formed the London Gallery in Tokyo with Tajima-san. In these six months he saw numerous collections of fittings and added greatly to his own collection. By this time he had moved to San Francisco and became the oriental art expert at Butterfield & Butterfield Auction House, where he wrote several auction catalogs devoted to swords and fittings. In 1980 he wrote the first major Japanese sword and fittings auction catalog for Christie's in New York. In 1981 he formed Robert E. Haynes Ltd. and wrote the 10 volume set of auction catalogues (1981-1984) that held thousands of impotant swords and fittings (regarded as essential to the collecting of tosogu) that were auctioned over a three and a half year period. He has written many articles on sword fittings and related Japanese art and in 2001 completed his impressive publication of the 3 volume set called "The Index of Japanese Sword Fittings and Associated Artists", the most comprehensive documentation of artists in the field of Japanese sword decoration to date, containing 12,560 listings of documented tosogu artisans and now including the 'Corrigenda Et Addenda' (2011). Since this time he has studied this area of Japanese craftwork like almost no other expert and carried out research which goes far beyond the usual activity of a collector. Thousands of objects went through his hands, and even today he still continues to record everything that appears to be of importance with regards to this subject. In exceptionally good condition.

He received a B.A. from Nashville HBCU Fiske University, an M.A. from Yale, and was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Columbia, graduating in 1912. While in New York, Haynes worked with the National Leag…ue for the Protection of Colored Women and the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York, and formed the Committee on Urban Conditions among Negroes with white suffragist Ruth Standish Baldwin. These three groups would merge into the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroesshortened to the National Urban Leaguein 1911. He taught economics and created the sociology department at Fiske and served as director of the Division of Negro Economics under the US Secretary of Labor. He also served the Federal Council of Churches and with the Joint Committee on National Recovery, which worked to ensure African Americans got their fair share of the New Deal, and had a role in the formation of the State University of New York. Offered here is a collection of Haynes' letters with several photographs and documents. The letters, which are sometimes placed alongside copies of Haynes' outgoing correspondence, come from politicians and influential figures in African American higher education. Those from political figures are generally in response to Haynes sending them his thanks for their advocacy for African Americans: Herbert Hoover personally thanks him for his "fine note of friendship" in response to Haynes' congratulations on his presidential nomination on the 1928 Republican ticket (June 21, 1928), Franklin D. Roosevelt's secretary Louis Howe for his letter in appreciation of the President's speech against lynching before the Fedral Council of Churches (December 14, 1933), and New York City Mayor Herbert Lehman for his letter in support of the Mayor's mandate to desegregate CCC camps in the state (April 22, 1937). The letters from fellow educators are more personal and substantial. In an early letter, Tuskegee president Robert Russa Moton councils Haynes on an unspecified conflict: "I can see no reason why we should not state your case before the Board. It is quite evident that Mr. Wood misunderstood you. I shall be seeing Dr. Dillard next week at which time I hope to talk over and more in detail the whole situation. [.] The whole thing to me is most unfortunate, especially when the work in hand is so very important and there is so much need for all the forces we can summon to do the work." (July 8, 1919) At the time, Haynes was with the Division of Negro Economics, though it is not clear what misunderstanding had occurred or how it related to Tuskegee's Board. "Dr. Dillard" is almost certainly James H. Dillard, a white advocate for African American education who at the time was the director of the Negro Rural School Fund. Dillard and Haynes seem to have been personal friends, as Dillard laments in a later letter that "I wonder if you and I will ever see each other again. The fates seem against it" (September 24, 1932). Another friend of Haynes', Nathan B. Young, writes him in 1931: "As you may have heard, I am leaving the field of education in Missouri. I am casting about to find something to do. I am still young and healthy with mental powers unabated. I should like to be put into a position where I would have the leisure to 'write up' what I have learned by long and varied experience in the field of Negro education. [.] I am asking my friends to make suggestion[s] as to the best use of the leisure immediately before me. Of course, I must keep on earning in order to keep on eating, for I am a poor man." (May 26, 1931) A newspaper clipping alongside the letter concerns Young's unceremonious ouster from the presidency of Lincoln University, an HBCU in Missouri. Young had been removed from the same post in 1927, at least in part because of his efforts to turn the school away from agricultural and.
