Higo Namako inspired Tsuba.
Refined copper with silver rim applied odawara style. Finished to a high polish with Horse hair brush and abrasive slurries. Niage patina brings out the fine crystalline structure of the copper. It was wonderful to explore this particular design in such detail. The contours and sensuous lines of this historical design are beautiful and timeless.
