Description
Large katana sized tsuba with a popular design of chidori and nami. This design translated means plovers and waves. It is popular because it has a very serene atmosphere to the design. Often samurai are great lovers of nature, and appreciate these types of scenes as a contrast to their very stressful lives. Because they might have a fond memory of such a scene, perhaps they asked their local tsuba maker to make such a piece to enjoy, to remind them of a peaceful moment, especially during times of turbulence. Gold and other metals are used for the design and accents,carving is well cut. A nice tsuba for a katana.
