Zwei Falter über dem Bach
Two Butterflies above a Stream
A round tsuba of copper, warm and plain. Two butterflies cross the upper half. A flowering plant rises at the right edge, and a small stream winds across the bottom. Everything is cut in line into the copper, with one steep and one sloping side, and nothing is inlaid. On the back a single butterfly flies above the plant.
The inscription beside the seppa-dai reads Otsuryuken Miboku, at the age of seventy-one. The tsuba comes from the collection of Alan Hartman in New York and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
