AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A contemplative late-Edo period iron tsuba (sword guard) featuring a refined landscape design in gold inlay across both faces.
Obverse: Gold-inlaid mountain peaks and rolling waves evoke the classic Japanese landscape tradition — serene, timeless, and deeply rooted in Zen aesthetics.
Reverse: Pine branches, rocks, and a flowing landscape in gold inlay, depicting the world of the immortal hermit (sennin) — a scholar-sage dwelling beyond the mundane world.
The warm, deeply aged iron surface contrasts beautifully with the glowing gold inlay, giving this piece a quiet but powerful presence.
Dimensions: 8.1 cm × 8.0 cm × 0.8 cm. Unsigned (mumei). Condition: Very Good. Ships from Japan.
