Japan chrysanthemum tsuba

About the Item

Iron tsuba in the shape of a chrysanthemum (kikugata), openworked in negative with foliage and geometric patterns. Chrysanthemum shaped tsuba were quite popular in the Edo period as the flower was considered a symbol of nobility and elegance. Kikugata are often openworked in negative. This creates intricate and delicate patterns that reflect the level of sophistication and refinement of the craftsmen. Japan – Edo period (1603-1868)
