Den Yagyu

A longtime friend sold me this one when I had a bit more in my pockets one month.

It is a very unusual/atypical Yagyu design.

Ie. Not one you look at and go "Oh, Yagyu!"  In hand, especially the mimi-sideview give it to Yagyu.

 

It represents the 4 classes of Japanese Society: Farmer, Samurai, Merchant, Artisans

The whole Japanese world in one tsuba design. Its a champion of the world..
