This is a rare sukashi tsuba by Kunihiro, a tsuba-ko from the late Edo period known for producing iron tsuba for practical use. Unlike his more common plain iron tsuba, this piece features a bold openwork design of a bucket and ladle, skillfully incorporating the theme into the tsuba's form. The composition balances straight and curved lines, and solid iron with open space, creating a dynamic and interesting visual from various angles.
