This is a large and heavy wan-gata (bowl-type) tsuba made of thick iron, signed by Kunihiro. It features an interlocking swastika pattern in low relief and five tsuru-no-maru mon, the crest of the Mori clan. The style is thought to be inspired by European or Chinese cup guards and was primarily made by armorers, likely in the 17th and 18th centuries.
