"Iron stone mokko shape, engraved carving on a very large tsuba that is imagined to have been used for the Odachi sword of the late Muromachi period. After more than 600 years, the iron has developed a unique texture, and the scattered engravings such as cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, bellflowers, and crests have been beautifully preserved." (Long) 9.27cm x 9.09cm x 0.37cm |
