This tsuba features a bold design of a single hollyhock leaf, characteristic of the Kinai school from Echizen province. Crafted in the middle Edo period, it showcases intricate leaf veins and two hitsu-ana cleverly integrated into the leaf's design. Despite some rust affecting the iron's luster, its powerful presence and clear 'Echizen ju Kinai saku' signature make it a fine example of the school's work.
