NihontoWatchNihontoWatchTetsu tsuchime-ji maru-gata, shinchu suemon zogan, kebori, kage-sukashi, maru-mimi Onin-tsuba are, as the name suggests, tsuba said to have begun around the Onin era (1467); they are also said to have derived from katchushi-tsuba, are well-forged, and show a unique texture in the ji. As a characteristic of Onin-tsuba, which were likely devised by katchushi, they feature suemon zogan of shinchu, which was said to be the most expensive material after gold at that time. This tsuba is also well-forged, and is a characteristic work with lines, branches and leaves, and kamon set in shinchu. The beauty of the tetsu-ji and shinchu-ji, created by the passage of over six hundred years of time, shows a unique texture and radiates an irresistible charm for lovers of ko-tsuba.
