NihontoWatchNihontoWatchTetsu-ji maru-gata nikubori-sukashi kebori kin-nunome-zogan kaku-mimi-koniku An elaborate work by Echizen Kinai, thought to be a piece made in response to a request from a daimyo, this is a sophisticated Kinai tsuba with vivid nunome-zogan.

This tsuba is a quite charming work with horse tack skillfully pierced into a beautiful tetsu-kenma-ji, with even the mimi carefully decorated with karakusa kin-zogan. Although the zogan on the mimi is slightly peeling, it is a beautiful work into which much ingenuity has been poured. In a kiri-bako
