The tsuba squarish guard at the end of the grip of bladed Japanese weapons, like the katana and its various declinations. During the Muromachi period (1333--1573) and the Momoyama period (1573--1603) Tsuba were more for functionality than for decoration, being made of stronger metals and designs. During the Edo period (1603--1868) there was peace in Japan so tsuba became more ornamental and made of less practical metals such as gold. /// [ From central bridge of TOKYO ] camera, download, composition, Edit by ray sat [ Ray_Sat-ouci ] TokyoSilver MixMediaPrints,VidoEditoophoron, GoldSilverSmithing,Tennkoku, 《医》 AutoimmuneVidoEditOophoritis.
