Description

 

Iron, wan-gata (concave) tsuba with very slightly mokkō-gata outline. Image of Ho-o (phoenix) with paulownia leaves in low relief. The phoenix is an auspicious theme, indicating the promise of a long life, and according to legend it nests in the paulownia tree. This tsuba bears similarity to one found in the catalogue (see photo) signed Sadayuki (貞之) of Kaga province, both in shape and carving style. This tsuba may be an unsigned work of Sadayuki, or one of his contemporaries in Kaga.

 

NOTE:
Nice tsuba with a very interesting shallow wan-gata. The theme is also interesting and tsuba is good quality, good condition and very collectible. I don’t know if this is Kaga or Sadayuki, but certainly the shape and the carving style is quite close, so I think it is safe to make the connection between this piece and the one in the catalogue. Info is from Compton Collection book.
