This is a bold iron tsuba featuring a design of stylized geese connected in an openwork pattern. The thick, well-forged iron plate is characteristic of Akasaka tsuba, with a distinctive deep sukisage (carving down) at the mimi (rim) to emphasize its robust, rounded edge. This technique creates a powerful three-dimensional effect, making it a strong and concise piece.
