Two hospital veteran tsuba

A friend handed me a couple of Tsuba recently. “These were in a junk box, and I tried to clean them up” he said. “What can you do with them?”

 

Well, I know *what I can do with them, but they are, uh… sorry, they were genuine tsuba once upon at time.
 

*Bury them.

After several days of near fruitless effort, I have decided to show this tsuba under very strict conditions.

Following presentation of a QR code with triple vaccination certificate, and wearing a mask, preferably a black one like Zorro, the visitor must:

 

A Keep your eyes shut at all times.

B Not peek, or try to focus in any closer than the deliberately distant shot it is set at.

C Spend more time enjoying the surroundings and setting, (preferably your own) and thinking about what you will have for your next meal. Note the length of one Shaku.

 

NB For all intents and purposes this is as far as I am going with it. Decorative at a distance. To erase the mottled surface would take more radical action than I am prepared to attempt.

Also, it is worth noting that it would still perform its basic function as a tsuba, as long as the owner did not wish to take any pride in it as a work of art. Not close-up, anyway.
