This is a pair of daisho tsuba (large and small sword guards) featuring a clematis design by Masasada of the Choshu school. The iron ground has a textured, rock-like surface, with the clematis flowers skillfully carved into it. The contrast between the hard iron and the delicate floral motif creates a striking and elegant piece, further enhanced by subtle gold inlays.
