NihontoWatchNihontoWatchKyo-sukashi refers to ji-sukashi tsuba produced in Yamashiro no Kuni, and along with Owari, Kanayama, and Akasaka tsuba, they are famous sukashi tsuba. As with other sukashi tsuba, it is said that the sukashi technique was established in the late Muromachi period, and in the Edo period In contrast to the rugged and powerful construction felt in Owari tsuba, Kyo-sukashi tsuba are elegant and delicate. The patterns are refined and possess dignity, resulting in a style where the culture of Kyoto can be felt. Among them, the tsuba handled by the tsuba merchant Daimonji Gorobei in the mid-Edo period are particularly refined and well-made tsuba, and these tsuba are collectively called Daigoro tsuba.
