  • Sujet : Une tsuba, une garde de sabre japonais, percée d'un kogai ana, représentant sur une face une scène diurne avec un prunier en fleur sous le Soleil et un ciel nuageux et sur l'autre un lièvre courant le long de la mer sous un croissant de Lune ;
    • La plaque est faite de fer; le tronc et les nuages incrustés d'alliage de cuivre; les fleurs, les vagues et la Lune d'argent.
    • Des motifs en or dont il ne reste que quelques éléments complétaient la décoration : Soleil, nuages secondaires, certaines fleurs, lièvre, etc.
    • Le fond des deux faces était recouvert d'une laque noire dont il reste des traces.
    • Cette tsuba semble avoir été montée sur une lame, comme le laisse penser les deux pièces de cuivre visibles dans l'orifice central destinées à ajuster la garde sur celle-ci.
    • Le petit trou circulaire dans la partie inférieure est d'époque contemporaine.
    • Non signée.
