Hello everyone, Iron tsuba from the Akao school. Edo period. Beautifully crafted in sukashi (openwork) depicting a Japanese bird called a chidori against a full moon in the background. Dimensions: 71 x 68 mm. Thickness: 4.5 mm. The Akao school was founded in the 18th century by Akao Yoshitsugu shodai, a samurai in the service of the Matsudaira clan, lords of Echizen province. It was later transferred to Edo by his son, Yoshitsugu nidai, but the Echizen branch was nevertheless preserved. The work of this school is characterized by openwork motifs influenced by the Kawaji and Kinai styles. The Akasaka style developed later within the Edo branch, where the positive silhouettes of natural or artificial objects are reduced to such conventional forms that they sometimes become unrecognizable. 450 € (plus shipping)
