Yamakichibei Tsuba

I've decided to part with this fine Yamakichibei tsuba.  Iron, wakizashi-sized at 69 x 63mm, 2.5mm at the nakago-ana, 3mm at the mimi.  The iron displays the classic Yamakichibei yakite treatment, complementing the tekkotsu and tsuchime that also characterize Yamakichibei guards.  The sukashi design has been described as a partial wheel or as an allusion to a fist (the sukashi openings being roughly where one's knuckles would be when making a fist).  Momoyama to early-Edo period.  $375.00 plus shipping.  Paypal please. 

 

Cheers,

 

Steve
