A tsuba in Kaga style dating: Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1573-1603) provenance: Japan, Made of iron, of tate-maru-gata form, decorated with pine needles on water in brass gomoku-zōgan and ko-sukashi. Kaku-mimi-koniku. During the civil wars in the Muromachi period, Kaga was a province where cities like Daishōji, Ataka and Oyama (today’s Kanazawa), were held by powerful military clans. All kinds of weapons had always been well known products of this province, even during the long lasting peaceful time of the Tokugawa. When in 1606 the seat of government was transferred from Fushimi to Edo, many artists left their native city, Fushimi, to work in the surrounding provinces. Some of these artists accepted the invitation of the powerful Daimyo Maeda Toshige, and came to the province of Kaga and especially to its capital, Kanazawa. The tsuba is illustrated and described in Japanese, English and German in "Tsuba" by Günther Heckmann (H.U.B. Verlag, Nürtingen, 1995). No. T52. Provenance: François Poncetton Haller Collection see: Koji-Hōten I, p 223
