Title
Tsuba with an "Oni" (Demon)
Description
English: A demon, called an "oni" in Japanese, is depicted crouched down looking at mushrooms. Kiyotoshi cleverly crafted the demon's body using the holes for the sword and short knife found in any tsuba. The demon wears the typical costume of a tiger skin loincloth and carries a Chinese-style fan. Gold highlights the demon's eyes, wrist, ankle, and loincloth. The reverse shows the demon in left profile under a full moon. While demons were originally symbols of evil, they are often depicted in humorous situations.
