Description

A fine mumei iron tsuba attributed to a later generation of the Nishigaki school, featuring a sukashi design of the Shiguretei motif. It is certified by the NTHK as Higo Nishigaki Kōdai from the late Edo period, noted for its tetsu migakiji, sukashi, and kebori workmanship. The tsuba's restrained openwork and naturalistic composition reflect the refined aesthetic of Higo sword fittings.

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.
