This tsuba was submitted in "2023 Modern Sword Craftsmanship Exhibition" (2023年度現代刀職展審) and was awarded Nyusen 7th place (入選七席).
There's already a post talking about it here https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/45392-my-first-attempt-at-nbthk-newly-made-tsuba-contest-2023/

The tsuba is an utsushi of an Akasaka tsuba (https://www.touken-w...-guard/art0000971-1/) which captivated me with its elegant and flowing design.

It represents a torii over a stream of water, which in the case of my tsuba i recognized as the torii over water in Kashima Shrine:

Incidentally i found a similar tsuba at last DTI and had the chance to compare it directly with mine.

The tsuba dimensions are 75x76 mm and it's 5 mm thick

It will come with a box with pillow and hakogaki by me, a tsuba bag and a copy of the diploma from NBTHK.
