ITEM:

A tsuba is the handguard of a Japanese sword, positioned between the blade and the handle. Its primary function is to protect the hand and provide balance to the weapon, while also serving as an important decorative element. Traditionally crafted from iron or soft metal alloys such as shakudō or shibuichi, tsuba often feature intricate carvings, openwork designs, and inlays in gold or silver, reflecting both the artistic traditions and symbolic aesthetics of the samurai era.
