Description

This is a fine tsuba featuring a 'Five Butterflies Sukashi' design by Masatsune, a representative master of the Ito school in Musashi province during the middle Edo period. Crafted from high-quality iron, the tsuba showcases intricate openwork and a powerful presence characteristic of Bushu metalworkers. The elegant curves of the butterfly wings and antennae demonstrate Masatsune's exceptional skill and compositional strength.
