Features: This vertically oval iron tsuba depicts a figure holding a bowl, rendered in high relief carving with gold inlay. Comment: Smoke appears to be rising from the bowl in the figure's hands. Perhaps the figure is enjoying a cup of tea, or perhaps they are lost in thought as they watch the smoke rising from something he have burned, an object holding cherished memories.
