Significance:
The tsuba is the primary ornament of a samurai sword and the samurai themselves. The tsuba is the equivalent of a European guard—providing protection and a brace for the hand during a strike.
Ancient samurai adorned their ceremonial swords with handcrafted tsubas by Japan's finest masters, featuring intricate, complex patterns depicting animals, nature, insects, or plants, or simple, minimalist ornaments—it all depended on the client's character and taste.
