Mokko Namako Sukashi - TM019
Mokko Namako Sukashi - TM019
Two facing sea cucumbers (Holothuroidea), called Namako in Japanese within a Mokko shape.
Sea cucumbers have inspired thousands of haiku in Japan, where they are called namako (æµ·é¼ ), written with characters that can be translated as "sea mice" (an example of gikun).
The "Mokko" shape refers to a flower called Chaenomeles speciosa, or Japanese quincein English, particularly important during the ancient times for its use in traditional medicine.Â
- Material: Blackened iron
- Weight: 110 g
- Vertical height: 75 mm
- Horizontal width: 72 mm
- Thickness: 5 mm
This Tsuba is part of a high-end series (from TM018Â to TM029) and is made of a traditional Tetsuji Iron, blackened with special iron lacquer. The process is optimized to obtain a result that reproduces ancient Tsuba as they were when new. To limit the cost, the cut is mechanical but hand-guided. The iron black lacquer is done by a specialist, similarly to how it is done on other swords parts or Yoroi (armors).
