Tsuba Dragon

Just wondering if there's anything interesting here.  I am so confused on tsuba quality.  Seems like there's always some I wouldn't give a second glance to but surprise me as to the skill involved in making.  I like this one and it seems skillful and delicate in ways, but would appreciate others knowledge.  Thanks.

I think opinions will vary, some will like it others will not.  Boils down to your own preferences, sense of aesthetics and budget. If it ticks all these boxes then, be happy and don't worry about the opinions of others.

 

There are a number of people who appreciate and collect these run of the mill Nanban tsuba. 

 

Personally, they don't appeal to me, though I have seen a few better quality ones which were nice.
