"Presented here is a tsuba of Kikyo Karakusa; bellflower and vines. It is mumei but likely crafted by the Kaga tradition, the feature being iron plate with brass inlay work. Dating to ca. 1400, it is very rare to have large inlay on the plate and going over the pipe rim. This would be the earliest "Kaga" style work so far recorded. In excellent condition with minimal missing inlay." (Haynes & Long) 8.40cm x 8.40cm x 0.30cm |
