A modern-art copper vase by Gyokusendo, decorated with a nunome-uzumon (linen-textured spiral) pattern. Worked entirely in the tsuiki technique — hand-hammered from a single sheet of copper — the surface bears a fine cross-hatched linen texture throughout, with three raised medallions of spiral and concentric-circle motifs where a red undertone shows through the hammered surface. The neck is finished with a lacquered red rim. The meticulous handwork and contemporary pattern give the piece a striking modern character, while its overall mood recalls the texture of ancient Jomon pottery...

A wonderful, beautifully aged 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 an imprinted/hammered repeating pattern of stars or cherry blossoms design perhaps. The piece has a gorgeous patina that is acquired from age and handling/use It is quite an appealing work. The piece is likely from the mid Edo Period (1603-1868). The Tsuba has a nice feel and wonderful aged texture to it. Would be a great addition to any Tsuba or Japanese Asian sword...

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...
