"Iron plate in marugata shape, one hitsu-ana in suhama-gata filled with lead with sekigane. The sukashi design in positive silhouette of Daruma 'sitting in front of a wall'. The meaning of the upper left kanji is 'faith' (men) and the lower left kanji is 'wall' (heki). This depicts the Daruma as he sat silently wasting away in meditation. Signed: 'TADATSUGU'. H 09190.0. The delicate subject, careful finish and refined iron establishes this tsuba as a work of perfection." (Long) 7.86cm x 7.80cm x 0.44cm |
