I am selling this Mito School Tsuba - Sennin

水戸 仙人図(馬師皇)

Motive is the deity Hotei releasing a bird.

The artist demonstrated skill in utilizing various techniques, including Katakiribori, Zogan inlay, and the incorporation of metals such as gold and shakudo.

This was not a commoner's Tsuba - it was dedicated to high-ranking samurai.

Dimension: 69,0 mm x 72,0 mm x 5,4 mm (5,1 mm) 140,2 g

Antique. Original from Japan.
