Shoami Tsuba
TS0525
r the tekotsu lover in you, an extremely boney and dense Shoami tsuba from early Edo. The tekotsu almost look like they were puddled on the surface. Wonderful metal, this needs to be in hand to be appreciated. Great color and condition. The gold nunome is so thick, that it reminds me of Higo work. Shakudo sekigane. There is a kirikomi (sword cut) which testifies to the strength of this tsuba. 7.89 cm x 7.47 cm x 5.4 mm. $650.
