Tsuba

I am proud to offer fine, handcrafted tsuba from Japan.

The tsuba are meticulously hand crafted out of iron by a Mr. Yamazaki, a tsubashi with over 30 years experience who specializes in Akasaka tsuba*. He carefully patinates each tsuba to attain the look of antique tsuba.

Custom orders are also available for sukashi iron tsuba. Please contact me, preferably by phone, for details.

The prices listed include all import cost from Japan as well as free shipping withing the continental U.S.

* Akasaka is a district of Edo (modern day Tokyo). This style of sukashi tsuba originated in the early part of the Edo period. The first few generations of tsubashi working in Akasaka style, including the founding tsubashi, Tadamasa almost never signed there work. One of the main charactoristics of Akasaka tsuba are the fine file work and the quaility iron used. Both charactoristics found in the work of Mr. Yamazaki san.
