$299.00
This antique Japanese tsuba (sword guard) is expertly crafted from brass and showcases a poetic landscape that evokes the quiet beauty of nature. The finely textured surface is adorned with delicate inlays of silver and copper, illustrating two birds in flight and a graceful branch with blossoms, possibly plum or cherry, extending from the upper right.
Subtle flowing lines near the bottom suggest a winding stream or breeze, enhancing the sense of movement and serenity in the composition. The scattered spots of contrasting color, whether from intentional design or natural patination over time, add a dynamic and organic quality to the piece. Featuring a central nakago-ana (blade opening) and a single hitsu-ana, this tsuba balances function with refined artistry. With its atmospheric motif and elegant execution, this brass tsuba is a beautiful example of Edo-period metalwork, ideal for collectors of samurai artifacts and lovers of traditional Japanese aesthetics.
