Heianjo zogan tsuba inherit the techniques of Onin tsuba from the Muromachi period, and are characterized by depicting patterns by performing zogan with brass on iron plate tsuba. While Onin tsuba use only brass for zogan, among Heianjo zogan tsuba, older works use only brass, but in later periods, works using a combination of gold, silver, suaka, yamagane, and other materials are also seen, developing into more gorgeous expressions rich in variety. This tsuba is a precise masterpiece featuring large ginkgo leaves on an iron ground, with the leaf veins executed in brass zogan. It is of a size that shines on a sword koshirae, and by mounting it on a koshirae, its presence is made to stand out. It is an item optimal for appreciation and collection, where the beauty of nature and the skill of traditional techniques fuse together.
