Der Dämonenjäger allein
Shoki without his Demon
A tsuba of yellow metal, sentoku or brass, slightly taller than wide. At the right edge stands Shoki, the demon queller, in a richly patterned robe, the wings of his cap raised, a sword at his side. Pine needles hang from the upper edge. The demon he hunts is nowhere on the guard.
Two characters, 直精, are cut beside the seppa-dai. Their reading waits for the piece itself. The tsuba comes from the collection of the New York collector Alan Hartman and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
