Brass, irregularly shaped cloud and dragon design tsuba, unsigned, high relief carving, with two kozuka holes, comes in a paulownia wood box. This is a large tsuba with a powerfully carved cloud and dragon. It is a bold work with a very impactful composition. I don't think there are many tsuba with such a powerful dragon. A signed work by Umetada Juko with a similar design is published on page 38 of "Tsuba Appreciation: 100 Tsuba 2". The one published has a wave dragon on a shibuichi ground, but the composition is similar. ※ The book is not included. Some age-related dirt and scratches are visible, but the condition is very good. It is a considerable masterpiece. Please check the images. Due to the influence of light, the color may look slightly different from the actual item.
