NihontoWatchNihontoWatchA Tsuba of round shape with Maru Mimi and the design of a stage of folded origami in Ji-Sukashi if not completely abstract. The very modern design of a state of origami folding is worked out of the very solid and densely forged iron plate. The glossy dark surface of the irregularly shaped inner design touches the rim at six points preventing from any aspect of symmetry. Indeed the design is an open puzzle or intelligent mystery as one cannot approach it’s resolution. This Tsuba looks absolutely great on a Koshirae and will never bore the eyes of the user or owner. Some experts think that the Kishu Teimei masters worked their tsuba not only for the Tokugawa clan of Wakayama but also for the many land owning farmers on the Kii peninsula that also had been fighting as mercenaries for the warlords or temples that had been able to pay them. Of course this only had been possible until the beginning of the more or less peaceful Edo period.

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.
All sales are final and no refund will be issued. Individual refund conditions may be offered on request. For items with third-party certificates (e.g. NBTHK), a return is offered if the certificate is proven falsified and claimed within one year after shipment.
