Pflaumenblüten auf Nanako
Plum Blossom on a Nanako Ground
An oval tsuba of shakudo, the ground covered in nanako, rows of tiny raised dots. A single plum branch reaches in from the right edge, its blossoms in gold. The seppa-dai is left smooth and shows a lighter tone. On the back the branch appears again at the upper left.
The tsuba is unsigned. Its beautiful nanako ground could be leading into the Yoshioka school direction, but lets see. It comes from the collection of Alan Hartman in New York and is in Japan at present. Its page follows on its return.
