T101. Tempo tsuba
$200.00
T101. TempoSchool, I believe. Iron sukashi and hot stamps with tiny silver ten zogan (inlaid dots), 7.8 x 8.7 cm. The nakago hitsu-ana measures .9 x 2.8 cm. Edo period. The sukashi, the Kanji for Ten, is the signature. This is an excellent tsuba in excellent condition. There are ample linear tekkotsu on the rim, the iron has a wonderful, velvety patina (and it sparkles in the light, evidence of an origin in sa-tetsu, sand iron), and I see no evidence of missing zogan. Was $275, now $200.
