Double
Cranes Tsuba
Over
the years, artists used many different metals. They manufactured tsuba
from copper, yamagane ( a dark impure copper), brass, sentoku (a yellowy
or dark brown brass), iron, shakudo (a mixture of copper, gold and whatever
else was available which resulted in a purplish black patina) and shibuichi
Although the iron was an early development, it reemerged later as artists,
such as Goto Ichijo, rebelled against the overly ornate and structured
form which the tsuba gained.
During the Muromachi period (1333-1573) and the Momoyama period (1573-1603)
feudal lords and powerful clans fought fierce battles against each other.
Therefore the functionality of the sword tsuba was more important than
its decoration. The Edo period (1603-1868) brought an uninterrupted period
of 256 years of peace to Japan. Now the Japanese sword tsuba rapidly developed
into a refined piece of art.
