This robust, circular (maru-gata) iron tsuba displays an abstract yet dynamic motif featuring stylized bamboo, flowers, and foliage. The texture is striking and dense, with tons of subtle visual detail all over the piece.
The plate has a well-textured surface (tsuchime-ji), the hammered grain still visible beneath an aged, dark brown-black patina. The carving is executed in low relief, with worn but deliberate incised lines that remain legible despite centuries of oxidation.
