This is an authentic sword guard that embodies the spirit of the Sengoku warlord Kato Kiyomasa.

When Kato Kiyomasa built Kumamoto Castle, he gathered skilled artisans from all over the country.
At that time, the Hayashi family, who were gunsmiths, brought the inlay technique to Kumamoto. Later, when the Hosokawa family, who loved art and were particularly fascinated by Higo tsuba, took over, warlords changed, and tsuba artisans from all over the country gathered in Kumamoto.
This is a tsuba that adorned the sword favored by Kato Kiyomasa. Its beautiful craftsmanship and historical value make it a special piece that evokes the romance of the Sengoku period.
Furthermore, for history enthusiasts and arms collectors, this is an unparalleled masterpiece.
