A nice, neat little Tsuba

Posted by Tenko on May 24th 2018

Musashi had it right; the simple, double-c style Tsuba is the way to go.

It's a bit smaller in diameter than other Tsuba I've had, but that in no way is a disparagement. This particular piece saves on weight without sacrificing stability and durability, and all you lose in the process is a bit of flash you might find in engraved or painted Tsuba.

Personally though, I find this simple piece aesthetically pleasing in its own way.
