'Yamashiro Kuni ju Umetada' $600.00
"Round iron plate with thin rim and the web carved as a dragon. The eyes and one tooth in brass inlay, on both sides. There is some iron on iron inlay such as the shoulder and the brow of the dragon, which is very rare in the work of any Umetada artist, but is seen in most early Kaneiye work.

This tsuba is signed: 'Yamashiro Kuni ju Umetada', H 11055.0. We do not know who the individual artist of these works might have been, but they were part of the Kyoto Nishijin school of the family.

The other most interesting thing about these dragon subject Umetada school examples, is their relationship to the early Kinai dragon subject tsuba that might very well have been the origin for the slightly later Kinai examples. None of these ideas have been studied, but they should be." (Haynes)
7.8cm x 8.0cm x 0.5cm.
