NihontoWatchNihontoWatchExceptionally, very well and detailed cut Sendai tsuba in sukidashi-bori technique with ajiro pattern. The shape of the tsuba is oval (naga maru gata) and it’s made from a very dark and heavy shakudo. It has two hitsu-ana, the hitsu for the kozuka is sealed with shakudo that was given a beautifully chiseled surface. The fukurin is plated with gold, this contrast gives the tsuba a very attractive aesthetic. The fact that the tsuba is unsigned, despite its elaborate and high quality, which certainly required a lot of time and work, suggests that it was made for a samurai of higher rank. The condition is breathtaking and to keep it in this pristine state the tsuba comes in a custom made box with raised base at the seppadai. Please compare this tsuba with this ajiro-mon tsuba.
