【Product details】

Delve into the past with this authentic wooden tsuba from the Meiji period or later, characterized by its unique mokkō shape, akin to a stylized quince. The guard is meticulously finished with a deep black lacquer, and features an elevated Maki-e design depicting peach blossoms, which in Japanese culture are emblems of vitality and resilience, often linked to the spirit of the samurai. The craftsmanship showcases the traditional Maki-e technique, where the design slightly protrudes above the surface, creating a textured visual effect.

Age has lent this tsuba character, evident in surface wear, hairline cracks in the lacquer, and minor chips. These signs of antiquity do not diminish its beauty but rather enhance its historical narrative. For a full assessment of its condition, we invite you to examine the provided photographs.
