| Description |
| Tsuba from the Momoyama
period done in iron sukashi. Design is that of a spoked wheel design
done very well. Nice iron patina, and there is some rim work as well.
Tsuba of this type are either Kanayama or Koshoami, and both schools
utilize good iron in their manufacture. In very good condition, this
tsuba should be put through a shinsa, as it is a very nice study piece
due to its condition. This is the style used by many samurai during
the early Shinto period, the wheel type sukashi pattern is seen on
many famous mountings from this time period. |
