Tsuba for Sale

The tsuba is the hand guard of a Japanese sword, positioned between the blade and the grip. Far more than functional protection, tsuba evolved into miniature works of art featuring intricate designs in iron, copper, shakudo, and precious metals. They are the most widely collected category of Japanese sword fittings (tosogu), with pieces by famous schools like Goto, Nara, and Yokoya commanding premium prices.
