Together with tsuba "Plum and Pine Sukashi" (see topic) came 2 other tsuba.

This is the second one:

Dimensions: 8,45 x 8,31 x 0,42 cm

Weight: 131 grams

Iron and ... dots.

Waiting for your interesting comments 👍🏻😉

Dew on ginkgo leaves?

Possibly those are the dots, but what with the 8 holes? Too many for Udenuki-ana I think...

Usually holes like that symbolize a worm eaten effect, but those aren't perfectly round. There are also exactly 2 per leaf, which can't be a coincidence.

This one also has eight holes and the same general design, though not with ten-zogan. Heianjo?  The repeated design must have some significance?

Thank you Dale. Almost same dimensions and same weight.

But still don't know what the holes are for... 😉
