Description

This antique Shoami-style tsuba, made by Yoshu Sho-ami Morikuni during the mid-late Edo period in Iyo province, features a Budou (grape) design. The grape pattern, often associated with fertility and longevity, was a popular motif among samurai due to its phonetic similarity to 'Budou' (martial arts). The tsuba comes with an NBTHK Hozon Certificate, confirming its authenticity and historical value.
