The Ōnin school represents a distinctive category of late Muromachi period tsuba characterized by their unsigned status and their integration of thin iron plate construction with brass inlay decoration. While the name suggests a connection to the Ōnin era (1467–1469), contemporary scholarship places these works more broadly within the later Muromachi period. Learn more →
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
No cooling-off period or returns; refund only if the purchased sword is proven fake, capped at purchase price (excludes commission sales, accessories, auction items).
