Higo Tsuba for Sale

Higo tosogu emerged under the patronage of the Hosokawa daimyo and is prized for a restrained, sophisticated aesthetic unlike any other tradition. The Higo lines — Hayashi, Nishigaki, Shimizu, and Hirata among them — combined iron sukashi, gold nunome overlay, and refined soft-metal work into guards of quiet authority. Higo tsuba remain among the most admired and collectible in the entire field.
