M228.  Shakudo tsuba with Samurai everywhere.  7 x 7.5 x .4 cm.  The nakago hitsu-ana is .8 x 2.6 cm.  This is signed Ishiguro Mitsuharu with a kao at the bottom of the seppa-dai.  Mitsuharu worked in late Edo, in a variety of styles I’m told.  This is Soten style and quite impressive.  Condition is amazing; I see no damage to mention.  $595.
