Koike Yoshiro Mon Tsuba (8.4 cm. )
Koike Yoshiro has lent his name to generally identify this
type of Heianjo Zogan Mon Sukashi Tsuba. The Tsuba were
bought in this fashion and the Sukashi, sometimes all and
sometimes three, for instance, were then fitted with the
buyer's personal family crest (Mon). Virtually all the inlay
remains in this Tsuba, just a few small pieces near the edge
are missing. We can arrange for this to be restored and for
Mon to be fitted for an extra charge.
Price: $395.
