The iron tsuba are carved with relief of 2 Japanese women on the front and

engraved with details. 3 3/8" x 3 1/8" square, 5/16" thickness. Iron
is of excellent color in original condition with beautiful patina. No damage
or repairs. Some gold and silver have worn off with age. It is in such great
detail that their hair can be counted one by one. The signature seems IWATOSHI. The above description is solely based on self-observation as being a layman of Japanese sword. Please ask me questions or give me your appraisals. |
