Title |
Tsuba with Fireflies in Bamboo |
|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
English: The raised rim of this tsuba is in the form of bamboo stalks. On the front, two fireflies are depicted nestled in bamboo. On the reverse is a stalk of bamboo and water. Fireflies are associated with summer and appear in many legends. The one that might be most appealing to warriors says that two species of fireflies in Uji, near Kyoto, re-fight the battles of the 12th-century Genpei wars. Catching fireflies on summer evening was an elegant past time. |
