A quite wonderful, intricately crafted, evocative Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a traditional wave design - a classic motif made popular by renowned Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai's famous image "The Great Wave off Kanagawa (Under the Wave off Kanagawa (Kanagawa oki nami ura)." The use of copper or brass highlights, dark rich patina and expert craftsmanship makes this quite an appealing work. The piece is likely from the Meiji Period (1868-1912) but could also be from the late Edo Period (1603-1868). A relatively large work, this Tsuba has a great feel to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...

A quite wonderful and evocative signed antique Tsuba - Japanese sword hand guard often circular, sometimes square, which emerged as an essential part of Japanese sword craftsmanship during the Heian period (794–1185). Initially crafted from iron or bronze, over time they became more decorative in nature and more for show as the waring Samurai clans disbanded and became part of Japan's past. The particular Tsuba features a Oni Demon design. Oni are fearsome, ogre-like demons or trolls from Japanese folklore, known for their monstrous appearance, immense strength, and cruel nature but conversely and somewhat contradictorily they can also symbolize good fortune, representing the duality of evil and protection in Japanese culture and sometimes serve as guardians against evil. The piece is likely from the late Edo Period (1603-1868) or early Meiji Period (1868-1912). It is signed on the verso/backside. This Tsuba has a great feel and heft to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...
