【Product details】

This exquisitely crafted iron tsuba from the Edo period, weighing 123 grams and housed in a wooden box, is a testament to the intricate artistry of traditional Japanese metalwork.

The tsuba's central theme is a serene rural homestead, set amidst a picturesque landscape. This tranquil scene is brought to life through delicate gold inlays, capturing the essence of a timeless pastoral setting. The clouds, skillfully inlaid in gold, add a layer of depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its visual appeal.

Partially hidden among these clouds is a silver-inlaid moon, its subtle presence adding a sense of mystery and quiet contemplation to the scene. The contrast between the lustrous silver moon and the golden clouds creates a harmonious blend of elements, reflecting the natural beauty of the Japanese countryside.

The tsuba shows some signs of wear and rust, with some loss in the inlay. These imperfections, evident in the included photographs, add to the historical charm of the piece.

Dimensions: approx. H 7.4 cm W 7 cm L 0.4 cm
