Tsuba Bushu , Oimatsu Sukashi
This beautiful tsuba, crafted in the Bushu with an Oimatsu Sukashi (openwork pine tree) motif, is a prime example of mid-Edo period artistry.
Originating from the renowned Bushu Itoh school, this piece reflects the craftsmanship and traditions established by Masanaga (正長) in the Genroku era (1680-1709).
The Bushu Itoh school gained prominence for producing elegant and highly detailed tsuba, which influenced tsuba makers throughout Japan during the Edo period.
Measuring 7.3 cm in length and 6.9 cm in width, with a rim thickness of 0.4 cm, this tsuba showcases the intricate design and high-quality workmanship typical of the Bushu school.
The Oimatsu Sukashi design, featuring an openwork representation of an old pine tree, is not only aesthetically pleasing but also carries deep symbolism in Japanese culture, representing longevity and resilience.
This tsuba is accompanied by a wooden storage box and cushion, ensuring its preservation and display.
Additionally, it comes with an NBTHK Hozon Certificate, verifying its authenticity and historical significance.
This mid-Edo period tsuba is not only a functional piece of samurai armor but also a work of art that reflects the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
