A shakudo nanako moko-gata Ko-Kinko tsuba. The theme of this tsuba is "Omoda kamon and floral raft". This plant is also called the "victory army plant". This tsuba dates to the Momoyama period (1573-1615) or slightly before. A highly charming old tsuba in excellent condition. This is accompanied by an NBTHK Hozon paper that attributes it to the Ko-Kinko school. Ideal for completing a special koshirae or for study of Ko-Kinko.
