NihontoWatchNihontoWatchKarakusa ni Odori Kiri zu Tsuba Using a superb shakudo ji that stands out for its beautiful jet-black color, this is a truly magnificent tsuba with a design of elaborate karakusa and odori kiri skillfully carved with deep strokes across the entire front and back. A fukurin made of the same shakudo material is applied to the mimi, further elevating the dignity of the entire work. The most noteworthy point of this piece is that it is incised with a nenki of "Bunsei 3 nen 8 gatsu hi" (1820), making it a highly valuable reference work that demonstrates the certain skill of Bushu ju Toshiyuki, and it can be called a precious piece of endless interest for sword lovers. Furthermore, beyond the beauty of the design, a great attraction is that the mimi retains uchikizu in places reminiscent of traces of actual combat, as well as one vivid kirikomi kizu. These are raw evidence of having survived intense tsuba-zeriai and sword fights during the turbulent end of the Edo period, conveying the breathing of the samurai of that time and the romance of history to the present day. It is a masterpiece overflowing with romance that possesses both artistic and historical value.
