Imperial Chrysanthemum Tsuba
TS0520
Sold
A very fine Saotome chrysanthemum open work with ginger root hitsuana. While the Saotome did many kiku sukashi tsuba, the sixty four petal chrysanthemum is imperial, so a design that is less common, and more labor intensive. Great color and condition, nothing to apologize for. 7.57 cm x 7.48 cm x 5.4 mm. From the Fred Lohman collection $850
