Tsuba Edo, most probably Yasuchika Fuchi Kashira
€350
NihontoWatchBETAThis Edo-period fuchi–kashira pair was executed in sentoku with shakudō and gold details, reflecting the refined mixed-metal aesthetics associated with the Nara tradition, and is plausibly from the Yasuchika line. The decoration is unified by the continuous motif of gourd vines (hyōtan), rendered with confident relief modelling and an elegant sense of rhythm. The use of sentoku, the carefully matured surface, the asymmetrical placement of motifs, and the expressive handling of mixed-metal accents correspond well to the stylistic vocabulary of mid- to late-Edo Nara work, particularly Yasuchika-influenced pieces.
