NihontoWatchNihontoWatchThis tsuba, crafted by Myochin Muneharu in 1872, features a moon, pine tree, and nikaibishi (double diamond) motif in openwork on an iron ground. The Myochin school, traditionally known for armor, extended their ironworking expertise to sword fittings during the Edo period, a tradition continued into the Meiji era. This piece is a valuable example from the period just before the Haitorei (sword ban) of 1876, showcasing the refined iron tsuba design of the Myochin school.
