I remember seeing this at your house many years ago Peter. The photos don't do it justice. It is a lovely tsuba. If I had the money, I'd be all over this.

This FB reel immediately reminded me of this tsuba.  Beautiful in both cases:

Part of the commentary goes:

On my way to pick up our guests this morning, I said to my colleague, “I’d love to see a snake today.”

Ten minutes after collecting our guests… there it was.

A stunning tiger snake, right there on the road — calm, aware, and absolutely beautiful.

Moments like this always feel a little bit magical… like nature is listening.

Of course, we made sure it was safely guided off the road, given space, and left to continue on its way — exactly as it should be.

Wildlife encounters are never something we control… but sometimes, they arrive just when you ask for them.

Maybe there’s a little bit of nature witch in me after all 🌿🐍
