Q778. Iron tsuba: leaves, blossoms, and vines. 7.7 x 7.8 x .5 cm. The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 2.7 cm. If I had to pick a school for this I’d say Bushu or maybe Choshu; it is well done but doesn’t have the blue cast of good Choshu so I go with Bushu. Excellent condition, fine deep black patina. $325.
