T242. Iron Tsuba with Fine Brass & Silver Inlay
$95.00
T242. Iron tsuba with fine line brass and silver inlay. 6.9 x 6.9 x .5 cm. The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 2.9 cm. I find this to be a very interesting tsuba, more so than I thought I would when I bought it. What at first glance looks to be a shakudo fukurin is actually a rim nicely raised from the plate. The recessed central portion of the plate has carved amida yasuri and inlaid brass and silver to show a cherry or plum tree, grasses, and a cloud. Near as I can tell, none of the inlay is missing. There are tekkotsu on the rim and subtle tekkotsu on the plate. Was $120, now $95.
