Description

This is a mokko-shaped tsuba, unsigned, from the early Edo period. It features a black lacquer finish over an iron plate, with large hitsu-ana on both sides. While some carved patterns are visible, details are lost due to age and wear, suggesting a history of practical use rather than purely decorative intent. The tsuba comes with a paulownia wood box.

Warning — certificate not found

We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
