Tsuba 001: Marugata Tsuba by the Shoami School

 

Fantastic iron tsuba with prominent tekkotsu on the rim. The sukashi design shows ginger and diamonds. Very similiar pieces are published i.a. in Sasano Masayuki's silver book and Eckhard Kremer's book. Unfortunately, the patination has become slightly thin on this pieces (nothing that cannot be fixed over time by a bit of care and natural aging). Otherwise, this tsuba will be a highlight in every sukashi tsuba collection!

 

Early Edo period

 

Dimensions: 7.8 cm x 7.8 cm x 0.43 cm

 

Asking price: USD 900,00
