Hosokawa Tadaoki (Sansai), lord of the Higo domain, was deeply versed in the art of tea, and the sword mountings developed under the influence of his aesthetic sensibilities came to be known as Higo koshirae. Tadaoki retained a number of distinguished metalworkers, including Hayashi Matashichi, Nishigaki Kanshiro, Hirata Hikozo, and Shimizu Jingo.<\/p>\n<p>This piece is a family stamp-design openwork tsuba by the Hayashi school. Despite the complexity of its design, the composition is remarkably well balanced, while the iron displays a lustrous, deep and rich patina.
