Description

This antique tsuba set from the late Edo period features two tsuba exploring the 'Un Mon Zu' motif through contrasting techniques. One tsuba uses openwork (sukashi) to create flowing organic forms, while the other employs low- to medium-relief carving with a slightly rough texture. They are made of iron and one is signed by Shoami Ieshige, though the authenticity of the signature is not guaranteed.
