This is a tsuba (sword guard) from the late Edo period, attributed to the Kamiyoshi school of Higo province. It features an intricate spider web design within a chrysanthemum shape, crafted from iron with a refined, dark, and robust surface. The delicate lines of the spider's web create a sense of tension and beauty.
