NihontoWatchNihontoWatchIt is likely the work of a Kyo-kinko artist who appears to have been influenced by Kaneie. A plaque and classical books are scattered within a quiet, desolate space. One wonders what kind of sword this was mounted on. It is an exceedingly large and thick tsuba. The thickness gradually tapers from the seppa-dai toward the mimi, and the mimi is fitted with a fukurin made of high-quality shakudo migaki-ji, meticulously finished in a nawame style. When focusing on this fukurin, the scene suddenly takes on great movement. The swirling fukurin appears to be creating a wind that scatters the plaque and classical books. The well-forged ji-tetsu features shadows created by tsuchime and yakite, resulting in a space that conveys a sense of depth.
