Ein Korb voller Chrysanthemen
A Flower Basket in Iron Openwork
A round iron tsuba in openwork. A woven basket fills the lower part of the guard, and from it chrysanthemums and broad leaves rise to the rim, cut free so that the light passes between them. Veins and petals are touched with gold. The back shows the same openwork, with the weave of the basket in relief.
The tsuba is unsigned. With open work motives like this it always seems to be the question: Bushu or Chōshū?
It comes from the collection of Alan Hartman in New York and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
