This is my second "kage-cho" tsuba, size should be pretty similar to the shoami tsuba mounted on the "kasen koshirae" in the Hosokawa collection.

Some random pieces I have crafted over the years.
A special tsuba for a special person. The theme is Matsukawa-bishi Mon. Matsukawa is pine bark. The three diamonds represent reliability, integrity and success. The pine is a long living three, strong against elements. The engraved Kanji are a wish for the owner.

My first "kage-cho" tsuba. Size should be quite similar to the original Shoami tsuba on the "Kasen" Koshirae of the Hosokawa Museum.

This picture shows the original Akao tsuba and the definitive design of the wakizashi sized tsuba I made.
Commission work, iron tsuba, wakizashi size. Designed to match an existing katana sized Akao school tsuba.
Few other pictures of the last set.
Higo set. Fuchi made of copper with a dragon body etched on the outher surface. Kashira in brass, depicting the Yama no Michi (the mountain road). Both fuchi and kashira are lacquered with ki-urushi.
Tsuba in steel, copy of a famous tsuba by Hayashi ni-dai.
