| Title |
Tsuba with the Samurai Watanabe no Tsuna |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
| Description |
English: This tsuba shows Watanabe no Tsuna, a warrior who lived in the late 10th and early 11th century. One stormy night, he lay in wait at the Rashomon Gate in Kyoto to wait for one of the last demons left in the city. Very late at night, he felt something tugging at his helmet. Striking out with his sword, he cut off the demon's arm. The demon ran away and Tsuna kept the arm locked in an iron box. On the tsuba, Tsuna and the demon face off across the sword opening. The strong diagonal decorations on both the front and the back evoke the stormy night. The Rashomon Gate is the same gate that figures in Akira Kurosawa's famous film of that name. |
