This tsuba from the Akita Shoami School is decorated with aoi (hollyhock) leaves. It is crafted from high-grade blue shakudo with hira zogan gold inlay. While primarily attributed to Akita Shoami, a similar piece has been attributed to the Bushu School, suggesting a possible alternative origin for this late Edo period work.
