shakudo Posted July 1, 2025 Report Posted July 1, 2025 Hi all, hoping more knowledgable folk can cast light on the concept behind the design/ motif on this tsuba? Seems like fish- were gold guilded/ mercury maybe- and gilded/ overlay of ivy? Not sure what to make of it? Seems good work but! Cheers Mike 1 Quote
