This is an Edo period iron tsuba featuring a design of susuki grass and crickets in openwork carving. It is signed on the reverse by Myochin Yoshihisa, a smith from Echizen province, who is said to have been a master armorer and later a tsuba maker. The tsuba showcases excellent iron forging and a delicate depiction of autumn insects, evoking a seasonal atmosphere.
