Together with the Hirata, Nishigaki, and Shimizu schools, it formed the four major traditions of Higo metalwork.<\/p>\n<p>Many works of the Hayashi School are sukashi tsuba (openwork sword guards), primarily fashioned from iron. Their iron exhibits excellent patination, developing a rich and attractive yokan-like dark brown color, and is highly regarded for its superior texture and quality.<\/p>\n<p>Included:<\/p>\n<p>Paulownia wood box<br \/>\nAoi Art appraisal certificate<br \/>\nNBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Tosogu certificate<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2026\/F26070.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2026\/F26070.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2026\/F26070paper-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/fittings\/2026\/F26070paper-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordering Number: AF26070 Tsuba: Bukan Sukashi (Openwork Design of Samurai Crests) (Tokubetsu Hozon Tosogu) Signature: Unsigned (Hayashi School) \u6797 Dimensions: 7.76 cm \u00d7 7.47 cm (3.06 in \u00d7 2.94 in) Thickness of center: 0.52 cm (0.20 in) Weight: 122 g Period: Edo Period Description: An iron tsuba in a chrysanthemum-shaped form with a polished surface, [&#8230;]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[133,121],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-31766","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-tsuba-en","6":"product_cat-fittings-en","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"sold-individually","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-auction"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31766","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31766"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=31766"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=31766"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sword-auction.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=31766"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
