Round (maru gata) iron plate being well forged with possible udenuki. Both sides finished with excellant 'Amida Yasurime' of fine workmanship carrying an inherent air of quiet simplicity. Both hitsu-ana filled with shakudo. Amida Yasurime: "radiant Buddha file-finish." Consists of file marks, cut radially outward from the center of a tsuba to the circumference, closely and compactly spaced. In all likelihood the term was originally chosen as being descriptive of the sun-burst nimbus, or halo, seen back of, or behind the head, of most statues of the Radiant Buddha. 8.20cm x 8.40cm x 0.35cm |
