Description

A fine Owari iron tsuba of circular form, featuring bold ji-sukashi openwork with stylized lightning and cloud motifs. Its robust construction, restrained decoration, and substantial iron rim are characteristic of the austere Owari aesthetic. The dark, subdued patination and irregular contours suggest an early and functional work.

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.
