Shakudo Tsuba Signed "Tsuneshige" - Minamoto Yoshitsune at Mure Takamatsu Decorated with irisShakudo tsuba signed "Tsuneshige". Unfortunately I was not able to find more about that craftsman. Tsuba is made of shakudo with both nanako and migaki ji (polished surface). With gold, silver, copper inlay and gold iroe. Tsuba is unusually heavy for its size, therefore I suspect there is a very high gold content in this shakudo alloy. Decorated with a motif of Minamoto Yoshitsune at Mure Takamatsu. Size: 73 mm x 70 mm x 4,5 mm
