Does anyone recognize this Tsuba?

It was sold on a site a while back and I am interested in finding the buyer to possibly get a replica made, as this is the exact crane figure for our karate dojo.

H356.  Iron sukashi tsuba with brass inlaid eyes.  7.8 x 7.9 x .5 cm at the slightly raised rim.  Skip’s tag says, “Bizen Shoami, dancing crane, mid Edo.”  Heavy, dense plate, subtle tekkotsu on the rim, fine carving, excellent condition: what’s not to like?  $650.
