Drscription
The Heianjo-style inlay tsuba is an iron plate tsuba with brass material inlaid in a picture style. In later generations, various base metals such as gold, silver, copper, and copper were used together, and the shape of the tsuba became diverse, such as large, small, thick, and thin. As the term Heianjo-style inlaid tsuba suggests, this school is said to have been made mainly by craftsmen who lived in Kyoto or its suburbs.
