Does anybody else have a tsuba with a humorous motif?

 

I have many tsuba (about 150 of them!).

 

But I only have one tsuba that every time I see it, it makes me smile.

 

The tsuba motif depicts someone under an umbrella running to get out of a storm (or a rain shower).

 

I can imagine the legs of the figure just spinning around (like in a cartoon) trying to run as fast as they can to get to some sort of shelter!

 

You can see the rain shower above the strangely shaped hitsu-ana (above the umbrella).

 

The figure just comes to life in its movements (at least for me!).

 

The craftsman that made this tsuba must have had a great sense of humor!
