Description

Very strong feeling tsuba with great iron color. Although not a large tsuba, from the way this tsuba is carved with its strong iron rim gives this tsuba a very commanding presence when seen on a sword. The artist who is from Sado did a very great job in making this piece. NTHK Paper (old).

Description
Very large iron plate tsuba with extraordinary good carving for the design. This tsuba shows well the skill of the artist that worked in the 1800’s when allowed to do their own designs. Good use of various metals, the large man is carved in a 3d fashion out of iron with gold, shakudo and silver for the well detailed accents. By the pictures it is really hard to appreciate the 3 dimensional carving, but you can see the detail and care that was put into this tsuba when the artist worked on it so carefully. Even the mans tooth is silver, and well carved like real life. The expression on the face of the large man is outstanding. This is a story about the “little people”, if we find out the exact theme, we will add it to the description. This tsuba is by Toshiyoshi, he worked in Hitachi, and was part of the famous Mito Kinko School that was well known for this style of carving. In a custom fitted box.
