Sakura Flow Tsuba 櫻流

Tsuba (Sword Guard) “Sakura Flow”｜Iron with Black Finish and Hand-Carved Blossoms & Stream

Sakura Flow is an iron tsuba finished with a blackened surface and a fine matte texture, offering a subdued and elegant appearance. The design is hand-engraved with flowing stream lines and blooming cherry blossoms, arranged in a balanced and rhythmic composition. Gold lacquer dots highlight the flower centers, catching light like spring sunlight on quiet waters.

Sakura represents fleeting beauty, while the flowing patterns evoke the passage of time and the rhythm of nature. Blending grace and restraint, this piece is ideal for pairing with refined koshirae, or for appreciating as a standalone work of sword craftsmanship.
