Hi:
I´ve checked your website, i am a koshirae crafter, and i have to tel that your work is impressive… As many other people could, i have found very interesting that owari tsuba with the crab shape; it is a replica? it could be possible to buy this one? Please answer me as soon as possible. Thank you very much and continue doing this excellent work
Thank you for the very kind compliments.
The crab tsuba was forged and carved from antique wrought iron. It is inspired by a classic Owari design. The tsuba is not available for purchase, as it was made as part of a completely unique koshirae that was commissioned to mount a beautiful katana by Yoshindo Yoshihara.
