    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    Openwork iron tsuba (鍔)
    Sukashi type (透かし)
    Mokko-gata shape (scalloped oval)
    Pine and stylized landscape motif
    Owari school (尾張)
    Late Muromachi – Early Edo period (c. 1600–1700)
    Condition: Very good, antique patina

    The openwork depicts a stylized landscape:
    On the left: a stylized pine branch (松 matsu), a symbol of longevity and perseverance.
    On the right: a bridge or geometric structure evoking a barrier or building.
    The outer edge forms a cloud border (kikumonou mokko-gata), inspired by the chrysanthemum.

    These elements are typical of tsubade from the Owari school or sometimes Kanayama, two schools from the Mino region (present-day Gifu Prefecture), known for their simple yet powerful openwork natural motifs. The dense and finely openwork ironwork is characteristic of Japanese workshops active between the late Muromachi and early Edo periods.

    The openwork design, simple yet balanced, highlights the mastery of the metal without the use of inlays. The overall effect expresses an aesthetic of sobriety and solidity, in keeping with the spirit of bushido.
