| The Natamame, sword bean, was used in Chinese medicine and brought to Japan during the early Edo period. This tsuba features an effective brass inlay depicting a natamame, sword bean. While workmanship in the style of Aizu Shōami, the natamame motif is unusual and more commonly found in Satsuma. |
