Description

This is an iron sukashi tsuba by Kaneyoshi, a master of Hikone-bori from Omi province during the mid-Edo period. It depicts a scene from the Genpei War, with an old pine tree in bold openwork and figures resembling Benkei and Yoshitsune rendered in high-relief carving and iroe (color inlay). The intricate details, vibrant colors, and narrative depth make this a superb example of Hikone-bori artistry.
