An old and strong tsuba from the Owari province. Due to the symmetry and the two identical hitsu-ana, as well as the age indication from probablythe Momoyama periods, it is an absolute reference piece. The motif in the silhouette shows hugging Japanese ginger and folding fans: “Daki-myoga and Sensu“
This tsuba is from the collection of the famous kodogu collector Kokobu Kenichi.
