This is a refined Japanese tsuba made of shakudō, signed by Ōmi Yasumasa and executed in the classical kinko tradition during the first half of the 20th century. The guard features a deep black shakudō ground adorned with a dense chrysanthemum floral composition in high relief, utilizing multi-metal iroe work in gold, silver-tone, and copper alloys. The carving is precise, reflecting modern Japanese metalworking techniques within Edo kinko aesthetics.
