Dragon and Waves Tsuba

TS048

A large cupped tsuba of a dragon and stormy seas.  Signed nijimei Masatsune.  9.1 cm x 8.4 cm x 5 mm.  Robert Haynes said likely Mito school out of Dewa, but that he had no reference to this smith.  Beautiful takazogon.  Excellent condition.  I would have thought that it had maybe been made for 19th century export, but it appears to have been mounted. 

The third picture is ove exposed to show the detail.    $3,500
