A very early Namban tsuba with very wide and open work detailed with 2 cranes coming in and out of the plate, also notice the cross on the base of the tsuba wiht the symbols over it. I beleive this is a very early Hizen work by the steel and weight of the tsuba.

A very rare tsuba with brass and gold placed on the plate also with the numbers "25" on it. This tsuba has Heianjo feel to it with the way the brass is placed on plate so maybe a early work of the school?? The mimi is also done with water dragons engraved into the plate. The seppa-dai is etched with a very fine silver inlay. Notice the next tsuba is done by the same person!!

This one like the one above is a very rare tsuba, the workmanship on this one is better with more detail and has the number "08" on it. The dragons look to be dressed in Europen dress look at the heads have collars they also have copper and brass placed on them. The 2 togeather almost look like a Dai-sho.
