"Iron sukashi tsuba with design of chrysanthemum and kiri (paulownia). The horizontal lines represent water, perhaps with waves back to back. Mumei. A Proto-Akasaka tsuba dating to ca. 1500. Many iron bones appear in the rim which confirms the age before the Akasaka school began. Accompanied with NBTHK Hozon paper to Akasaka school (see below)." (Haynes & Long) 7.4cm x 7.2cm x 0.5cm |
