Metal crafts are called kinko (metalwork). In Kumamoto, metalworking developed during the Edo period, with metalworkers creating fittings (such as tsuba and fuchi-kashira) used for sword mountings. Many excellent metalworkers were born here. This tsuba is a type of Higo tsuba, featuring a design that imitates a net. The intricately carved net-like pattern showcases the high level of skill. The tsuba itself has a luster and appears to shine. Furthermore, this item comes with a special paulownia wood box. Inside, there is a paper with a picture of a tsuba very similar to this one. Displaying it in the box will enhance its presence and make it more enjoyable to view! Why not take this opportunity to hold it in your hands?
