This Tsuba (sword guard) is crafted from high-quality copper with a blackened finish, giving it a deep, classical aesthetic.

The details of the mantis, cicada, and oriole are beautifully rendered through gilding and silver plating, symbolizing the food chain in nature and the wisdom behind it. The scene is full of tension and life, representing both the harmony of nature and its profound lessons.

This Tsuba not only serves as a functional handguard but also holds significant artistic and collectible value. Its intricate craftsmanship and deeply symbolic design perfectly embody the traditional Japanese values of nature and wisdom, making it ideal for collection and display.
