This tsuba depicts a squirrel running through a flourishing grapevine, a design that puns on "grapes and squirrels" (ぶどうにりす - budou ni risu) and "to discipline oneself in the way of the warrior" (武道に律す - budou ni ritsu su), making it a popular piece among the samurai class. The grapes and squirrel carved on the tsuba are rendered in a highly three-dimensional manner, creating a humorous and engaging work that seems to tell a story. Why not take this opportunity to acquire this auspicious tsuba?
