"Presented here is an elegant iron tsuba in chrysanthemum flower shape with rounded rim. This tsuba is an outstanding example of Higo workmanship, attributed to Kamiyoshi Fukanobu, the second master of the Kamiyoshi family - one of the last distinguished lineages of Higo metalworkers. Fukanobu was active from 1798 (Kansei 10) to 1851 (Kaei 4). The chiseling around the nakago-ana strongly supports an attribution to Kamiyoshi Fukanobu, based on characteristic tool marks unique to his work of small punch marks at the top and bottom of the nakago-ana."
