Description
11/5/26 - For sale is a large, signed Japanese iron tsuba (sword guard) for a katana, in the openwork sukashi style. The tsuba sat between the blade and the handle of the Japanese sword, protecting the hand and balancing the blade, and over the centuries sword fittings became an art form in their own right, collected for the skill of their makers. This round iron guard is pierced with a flowing design of branches and foliage within a raised outer rim, and it is signed with inscribed characters on either side of the central blade opening (nakago-ana). The copper sekigane fillers are still in place in the opening. The iron has a dark, even patina with light wear on the rim and high points, and the sekigane show some oxidation.
