"Brass plate with bold katakiri and kebori carved Chinese style dragon in clouds on either side, both males. Hitsu shape slightly changed, with the original patina of a greenish nut brown. This is the style of tsuba made in the late Momoyama period, ca. 1575, and is often referred to as a 'San Diego' tsuba after those worn on the swords of the samurai aboard the 'San Diego' that sank off the Philippines in 1601. |
