Used to be one of mine.

 

Its old, Koto, a good size, without ana. You will never find another at that price.

If it don't sell soon Kirk i promise i will buy it back.

 

From memory, the theme was something like cross bars.

 

Ok, condition aint great but its like 500 years old.

 

Il tell you what i was looking for when i bought this tsuba. Old and large, i wanted a tsuba like what you see on the sword in the movie the Seven Samurai, to me that's what it is, plain and simple. Something authentic of the era.

 

For a tsuba in great condition of that size and age then you could double plus the price.

 

In the ana, you can see the folded steel.
