Q141.  Iron tsuba signed X shu Ju Mitsushige.  8 x 8.5 x .4 cm.  The nakago hitsu-ana is .9 x 2.9 cm.  The punch marks at the top of the nakago hitsu-ana have obscurred the 1st kanji of the province name.  There is a gold moon peeking out from behind a cloud and the ryo hitsu are lined with gold plate, not gold nunome (nice touch).  The surface has a yakite (partially melted) finish that works wonderfully with the theme.  I like this one.

Condition is pristine.  $295.
