Title: Goto-style, Musashino Zu Description Sumiiri Itomaki Gata (隅入糸巻形) shape Tsuba made from brass A landscape in Musashino (武蔵野, place name in Kanto area) is depicted. This motif has been given themes and inspiration to various literary works and art crafts as the field as far as the eye could see, or as a famous place for the moon. In this work as well, the moon is shining at the top of Tsuba. Its creator Goto Mitsuhiro is the older brother of Goto Ichijo (後藤一乗), who is known as a famous expert of metal working for sword mountings. Mitsuhiro was also an excellent metalwork artisan. This Tsuba is one of his superb works. This Tsuba is recognized by The Society for Preservation of Japanese Art Swords, which is known as NBTHK. *As this item is an antique, please check each photo and ensure its condition. What is Tsuba? Tsuba is the hand-guard of the Japanese sword. High-class Samurai wore his katana sword with its beautiful sword mountings such as Tsuba. Tsuba’s front design tends to be more decorative as this part was often seen by other Samurais when he was walking on the streets. Why is it that the sword mounting was important for Samurai? The sword mountings of the Japanese sword have many kinds of decorations such as handguards (Tsuba), sword hilt (Menuki), pommel (Fuchi Kashira). The sword mountings of the Japanese sword have many kinds of decorations such as handguards (Tsuba), sword hilt (Menuki), pommel (Fuchi Kashira). The Japanese sword worked as a weapon and as an object to show who he was. For example, it shows their personalities and beliefs. You could say that it is like decorations for smartphones today. We recommend you zoom in on the pictures of the sword fittings. When you do so, you can see the skill of Japanese metal engraving techniques. They are mainly made of iron and copper with inlays of gold, silver, and bronze. When it comes to handguard (Tsuba), each one has a different outline and weight. These sword fittings that have lived with Japanese swords of the same age might be worth as much as the Japanese swords. They are inconspicuous parts of the Japanese sword. Nevertheless, if you are knowledgeable or particular about it, you will become a connoisseur of the Samurai. ————————————————————————————————————— 【About us】 Samurai Museum is located in Tokyo, Japan, exhibiting antique artifacts related to the Samurai history.
