This is an unsigned tsuba attributed to the Aizu Shoami school, featuring a design of foxtail millet and mushrooms under the moon. Crafted during the middle Edo period, it showcases a dark, well-patinated iron ground in a mokko shape with a hammered surface and round rim. The intricate details, including sukedashi-bori and nunome-zogan, create a subtle yet elegant autumn scene, making it a fine example of Aizu Shoami's decorative artistry.
