Description
18th century Japanese sword iron tsuba with inlaid and decoration depicting Fukurokuju (one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune, usually associated with long and happy life) wearing richly decorated robe standing under a pine tree. He is hiding his smiling face behind his sleeves and below a tengu mask on the upper part of his ridiculously long head that he put on to scare the hell out of 2 boys who are running away in terror losing a fan that they played with. Design of the pine issuing from rocks and showing Fukurokuju”s staff and fan continues on the back of the tsuba. Clever and funny composition with a good feeling of movement - see the boy’s outstretched hands. Excellent sharp work with gold, silver and copper inlays, superb detailing - see the tengu mask features, pine needle clusters and fine textile patterns. In excellent condition, no losses or repairs. Height 2 13/16 inches.
