Q860. Beautiful Shakudo Tsuba, Shoki and an Oni
$595.00
Q860. Shakudo tsuba. 5.8 x 6.9 x .4 cm on the plate. The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 2.7 cm. Shoki the Demon Queller stands proud and ever vigilant to one side; the hapless Oni cowers, trying to hide on the other. It doesn’t pay to be a demon when Shoki is about.
The plate, of high quality shakudo, is covered in fine nanako, including on the rim. The figures in raised relief shakudo are amply inlaid with gold; some of the inlay wraps around the rim. This tsuba is signed but I’m unsure of the reading. Possibly Munenori but maybe something else. Condition is excellent; this one is a keeper. $595.
