pcfarrar Posted October 6, 2016 Report Posted October 6, 2016 This tsuba is most likely from the early to mid Edo period. It is an excellent example of Edo period Owari work. The design is a little busy, made up of a mon, a large snow flake, clouds and a udenuki ana. The iron on this tsuba is wonderful with a beautiful warm tone typical of Owari work. The melted finish is glassy and smooth. There are also clear lamination's visible in the nakago ana showing the layer construction of this guard.This is really good iron and a great study piece for those getting serious about their iron tsuba. Dimensions - 78mm x 78mm x 5mm Note: Comes with a custom fitted wooden box and pillow Ex. Rich Turner Collection Price $420 including shipping worldwide/paypal fees.
