Iron, marugata, Kamakura tsuba with highlights in gold inlay. Typical Kamakura tsuba are completely decorated with designs in low relief, some images being concrete, landscape type images

This tsuba bears the signature of Masakata from the Bushū school, who was tsuba artist working in the Edo region in the latter part of the Edo era

Assume this is a late Edo tsuba that has not been mounted. But a nice, simple design, and the fine carvings on the rim of the tsuba are also interesting

Iron, slight tatemaru-gate, dote mimi with kin and gin zogan carved into the rim. Two hitsu-ana. A nice strong and powerful tsuba

Edo iron Tsuba with image of wisteria and paulownia, most likely representing two family crests
