T108.   Iron sukashi of birds, waves, pine, and mountain.  Unsigned with NBTHK Hozon paper, dated 2009, to “Shoami”.  8 x 8.1 cm, thick plate.  When I first saw this tsuba I thought it a bit crude; the longer I have it the more impressed I am with the design.  Condition is very good and with a bit of fussing it could be great.  This tsuba comes with a box.  $450.
