NihontoWatchNihontoWatchA tsuba made of high-quality shakudo with a fine ishimeji finish, featuring fuki leaves arranged in a tomoe pattern, with the leaf veins expressed through the technique of fine-line kin hirazogan. The edges of the leaves are crafted into subtle shapes, and the appearance of morning dew glistening on the glossy stems is also depicted, while the hitsuana for the kozuka and kogai are treated like insect-eaten marks to create a sense of naturalism. Although limited to the two colors of black and gold, one can imagine lush green leaves, and the piece is enveloped in exquisite charm. Fuki-zu tsuba were a specialty of Shoami Denbei, and subsequently, the metalsmiths of the Akita Shoami school produced tsuba of the same style. Hozon (Akita Shoami)
