Recently i adquired this tsuba, Nara school in hamano style i think? ,

It has engraved the figure of a man with a sword and a chinese straw hat?

I have searched for Japanese gods with no results. The straight sword could be a ken or a jian, so i also searched

for chinese gods without luck

Any help is appreciated,

Sinceresly

Hi José.

 

Maybe you should have a look at Chohi (chinese name : Zhang Fei) figure as well. IMHO the blade held by the character in the tsuba looks like more a spear than a ken.

張飛 Zhāng Fēi (Chōhi) used a double-pronged spear with a wavy blade according to the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms”.
