Spectacular soft metal tsuba by the Umetada School. High level works are hardly seen on the open market for sale. Excellent fine inlay work that must have taken many hours to do so perfectly. The base metal of shakudo, inlayed with gold, silver and suaka in fine detail show why the Umetada school is considered one of the best in the Edo period.
Guaranteed to pass NBTHK shinsa at the Tokubetsu Hozon level.
