This is a sukashi tsuba featuring a Nanten (heavenly bamboo) motif, signed by Myochin Yoshihisa from Echizen province. The iron plate is so dark and powerful it resembles shakudo. The realistic depiction of the Nanten, including its round berries and leaf veins, reflects the auspicious symbolism of the plant, favored by samurai.
