This is an iron tsuba from the Kinai school, featuring a large openwork design of futaba aoi (hollyhock leaves). Delicate carving is applied to the leaf veins, with gold inlay adding vibrancy to some tendrils and leaf parts. The symmetrical openwork and thick rim give it a powerful yet calm impression, characteristic of the Kinai school's plant motifs and gold inlay.
