“Tsuba” consist of metals like iron, copper or copper alloys. “Tsuba” are mostly round (“maru gata”), rounded-square (“kaku gata”) and four-lobed “mokko”. The plates are provided with cut-outs. The angle of the sword is stuck through the opening in the middle, called “nakago ana”, the smaller lateral openings “hitsu ana” were used for small knife “kozuka” and sword needle “kogai”. In early times “tsuba” were thought purely functional, in times of peace during the Edo period (1603-1868) they evolved into their own art form and became valuable objects for collecting.
