NihontoWatchNihontoWatchWe have here a typical Kamakura Bori piece dating back to the the Muromachi period. The especially flat relief which covers the whole item is characteristic for Tsuba attributed to this group. At the same time they exhibit similar traits as Kachushi Tsuba with their rather thin plate of around 3 mm. Also typical for the early times the Hitsu-ana is slightly elongated. The name Kamakura Bori relates to the idea that these pieces might have already been made as early as from the Kamakura period. The design is representing the scene of a temple garding with a bridge in the front and a five fold pagoda in the background. There is also a Sukashi element of a Koun, a so called lucky cloud. A charmin piece for a collection of old Tsuba. Comes with a custom made box.

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.
