Dan tsuba Posted December 12 Report Posted December 12 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! 3 Quote
Spartancrest Posted December 13 Report Posted December 13 This one has always made me smile - just from the absurdity of imagining it on a sword! 2 Quote
