Hi, Gary

The tsuba you have posted represent a pair of habōki (羽箒) or feather brush once in use during tea ceremony. A pair of habōki are also depicted in some kamon (family crest).

About the style of your tsuba I can’t give a reliable opinion since I am really a newcomer, but I’d guess Echizen-Kinai or Shoami school. Bye, Mauro

Morning all,

 

It's an interesting shape reminiscent of the O-wari Daki Myoga Kamon.

 

However, I wonder if this is actually a depiction of a pair of Tebōki (手箒) feather dusters.

This is the closest I can get to an image with a modern "Uchida" duster.

 

Habōki (羽箒) for the Tea ceremony are usually either a single or three feathers - mitsubane (三つ羽), wrapped at the point with a bamboo leaf and tied with thin cord.

Hi, Malcom

I believe that habōki means just broom (箒) made of feathers (羽). See the image taken from http://www.finesword.co.jp/sale/okaidoku/index.htm which is described as ” 羽箒(炭道具)透図 “

Here it is a site where habōki kamon (羽箒家紋)are displayed.
