This is a powerful signed iron tsuba featuring a bold, stylized composition representing the radiating rays of Amida Buddha. The circular plate showcases broad, sweeping openwork forms that create a strong sense of expansion and movement. Traces of gold around the rim suggest original gilding, providing an attractive contrast with the dark iron patina.
