I think the hyotan and wrap design is quite nice as well. Hyotan are always pleasing to the eyes and I always enjoy the wrapping texture too. And for this price.. a steak!

 

I'm quite tempted but I really can do that to the wife and kids haha, I'm too broke.

I'd be willing to bet the Dragon tsuba was at one time mounted on a Satsuma rig.  I cannot remember their name but you can see where the two small binding cord holes have been filled.  It also is not unusual to see a dragon depicted in association with Satsuma koshirae.
