: Tsuba stand
Title: Koushi Zu
Signature:
NO SIGNED
Age:
Edo period
Material: Iron
Description
This Tsuba has Kozuka and Kougai holes. The Mimi (耳, edge) part is colored with gold. You would find the figure of several men. It seems they are spending time in the mountain. Their expressions are calm, and there is a cheerful atmosphere. The gold or brass coloring applied here and there remains well; it enhances the decorativeness of this Tsuba.
We think the theme of this Tsuba is a kind of “Koushi Seiyu Zu (高士清遊図).” The Koushi (高士) means an honorable person, and Seiyu (清遊) means being away from the world and playing fashionably. It would be a longing for sages to indulge in hobbies and arts in nature, far away from the world. This Tsuba is likely a form of yearning for such a lifestyle.
*As this item is an antique, please check each photo and ensure its condition.
What is Tsuba?
Tsuba is the hand-guard of the Japanese sword. High-class Samurai wore his katana sword with its beautiful sword mountings such as Tsuba. The front design of Tsuba tends to be more decorative as this part was often seen by other Samurais when he was walking on the streets.
