A tsuba in Jakushi style dating: Edo Period (1603-1867) provenance: Japan, Made of iron, of tate-maru-gata form, with nunome-zōgan in gold, silver and aokin, taka-zōgan in silver and copper, ten-zōgan in gold, and copper sekigane. The obverse depicts the Three Sake Tasters, Roshi (Lao Tzu), Shaka (Buddha) and Koshi (Confucius); the reverse shows a pine tree beside a stream. Kozuka and kōgai hitsu-ana. Kaku-mimi-koniku. Late Edo period, end of the 18th century. This illustration depicts the three Asian sages, Roshi (Lao Tzu), Shaka (Buddha), and Koshi (Confucius) tasting sake from the same jar, its flavor evoking a different reaction from each. This anecdote symbolizes the philosophical concept that truth, despite sharing the same religious and philosophical origin, can be interpreted in different ways by different masters. The tsuba is illustrated and described in Japanese, English and German in "Tsuba" by Günther Heckmann (H.U.B. Verlag, Nürtingen, 1995). No. T64.
