This is a tsuba with an itomaki design. The appearance of wound thread is painstakingly expressed through carving, and kin zogan is applied to the pillars of the thread spools and the edges of the hitsu-ana. There are small areas where the zogan has peeled away, but the condition is generally good, and the color of the rust has a sense of depth. The itomaki, with its long threads, embodies prayers for longevity and the prosperity of descendants, and has been used as an auspicious motif since ancient times. This itomaki design tsuba in tetsu-ji is a piece that would fit beautifully even if paired with a koshirae.

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.
