John reads so much golden flower

The model for this exceptionally beautiful tsuba was most likely made by a great master in the 18th century. Since, unlike the knifemakers, they did not sign their work, the makers are unfortunately not known by name. The tsuba has an intricate design, featuring golden cherry blossoms (sakura), one of the most important symbols of Japanese culture. They represent beauty, new beginnings, and transience.
