This is a classic Choshu tsuba depicting two large trade junks on a rough sea with full sails on the obverse. The reverse shows a tranquil scene with calm waters and a rising sun, along with three crescent moon-shaped elements. It is a large, katana-sized iron tsuba, circa 1750, with crisp carving and naturalistic charm, similar to a signed example by Choshu Hagi Ju Nyudo Tomoyuki.
