【Product details】
This tsuba (sword guard) from the Edo period features an intricate design of swirling leaves. Interspersed within the foliage are ten brass inlays, each depicting a mitsudomoe—three comma-shaped swirls joined together. The mitsudomoe is a symbol rich in meaning within Japanese culture, often representing the cycle of life, the three elements (earth, heaven, and man), or the flow of water. The repetition of the mitsudomoe ten times may carry its own symbolic significance, possibly suggesting completion.
The tsuba's dark iron surface provides a striking contrast against the bright brass inlays, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its creation. The piece shows signs of age, including some rust and areas of wear, with two of the brass inlays missing on one side. Please refer to the photos for further details on its condition.
Dimensions: approx. H 7.2 cm W 6.6 cm D 0.4 cm
