NihontoWatchNihontoWatchThis is a tsuba with a design of an old pine tree, a symbol of longevity and evergreen. The material is tetsu, with kin-iroe on the trunk of the pine. The twisted, winding trunk possesses an atmosphere of maturity and also calls to mind a dragon. The style appears to be Kyo-Shoami. The size is on the larger side, but it is a tsuba without much weight. It is recommended for a longer sword.
