Mito School Tsuba
Iorn Moku-gata

Dimensions: 76 mm x 70 mm
Thickness: 3 mm

This is a Mito school tsuba. The ji is iron with both taka-bori and inlay of shakudo elements with gold, copper and silver nunome. There are details such as the boar's gold eye and carved hoof as well as the lines in the fan and bark on the tree. There are only a few areas of wear on the highest points of the work. The shakudo is a deep wet black color and the layering of gold, silver and copper leaves is organic and natural feeling. Constellations in the night sky by a calm stream are shown on the reserve. This is another tusba whos price tag is low due to it being mumei but belongs in a great collection next to other finely crafted works.
