This tsuba features a round, thinly forged iron plate with a suhama (sandbar) crest in small openwork near the rim, characteristic of Katchushi (armorer) tsuba. Katchushi tsuba are known for their simple, robust iron construction and often feature subtle openwork designs. This piece, dating to the early Edo period, showcases a clear forging grain and a refined, antique aesthetic.
