Each of these lineages served their feudal lords and passed down their techniques over generations, flourishing until the end of the Edo period.<br \/>\nAmong them, the Hayashi family\u2014founded by Hayashi Matashichi\u2014stood out. He was a master craftsman in the service of the Hosokawa clan and is regarded as a leading figure of Higo metalwork. The Hayashi school is especially known for its openwork tsuba, primarily using iron. Their works are celebrated for the refined texture of the iron and their exceptional rust-patinating techniques.<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon<br \/>\nIn Kiri box<br \/>\nAoi Art estimation paper<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25621.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25621.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25621paper-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2025\/F25621paper-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordering Number: AF25621 Tsuba:Paulonia(NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon) Inscription: Mumei(unsigned)\uff08Hayashi) \uff08\u6797\uff09 Dimensions:8.17 cm x 8.11 cm (3.22 in x 3.19 in) Thickness of center:0.39 cm (0.15 in) Weight: 100\u3000g Period: Edo period Features: Round iron tsuba with openwork and kebori (hairline engraving) depicting t\u014dkiri (paulownia leaves).
