This is a smaller wakazashi sized tsuba that seems a little bit different than many openwork crane tsuba that I have seen. It looks as though the crane is dipping his beak into the water. There is sekigane visible on the other side, so it appears as if was set at least once. I find these are some of the harder tsuba to attribute to a school, and I have been happily surprised with the results of some other sukashi tsuba in the collection I inherited. Just looking on opinions from anyone who may have the knowledge.

Exact measures would help.

Crane and pines. IMHO Akasaka-style maybe by a minor workshop.

 

Here's an Akasaka which seems to be the model for Yours:
