Ishiguro Masatsune Tsuba
This Tsuba is an excellent example of the very fine craftmanship we all should be looking for. The charming design and colorful execution is perfectly balanced with the free space of nanako and the antennae make an excellent frame. The nanako is truly excellent and may be called perfect - further underlined by the Nakago artist signing on the Tsuba, something quite rare and special.
The Tsuba is signed Nanako Nara Hidemasa, kaō (斜子奈良英政 (花押)) and Tominsai, Ishiguro Masatsune, kaō (東民斎 石黒政常 (花押)). The piece was made in 1867.
