NihontoWatchNihontoWatchComposed of delicate lines and flat surfaces with unique sukashi cuts, these are Akasaka tsuba, which flourished in Edo. Akasaka tsuba represent the evolution of the aesthetic of the Kyo Shoami school. This tsuba likely features a design of a paulownia tree swaying in the wind, masterfully turning the shadows reflected in a circular window into a work of art. The iron is black, and the layered kitae-hada characteristic of Akasaka tsuba appears clearly around the mimi, creating an effect reminiscent of suji-tekkotsu that provides an exceptional flavor.
