Kamiyoshi tsuba with cherry blossom and warabite design, forged from fantastic iron.
A very similar tsuba of the first generation Kamiyoshi is published in Ito Mitsuro’s book “Works of Hayashi & Kamiyoshi” No. 176, but has a few less details than the work shown here. This tsuba was probably made by the second generation Kamiyoshi Fukanobu.
It already has an NBTHK Hozon paper and comes in a high quality custom made box.
