Description

This is an unsigned Nishigaki tsuba from the Edo period, featuring an ivy design. It is made of brass with sukisage-bori (carved-down relief) and yakite-kusarashi (corroded finish) techniques, with pine motifs in openwork on the left and right. The brass has developed a unique patina over time, offering a different charm compared to Higo iron tsuba.
