The Hidden Dragon is a design of a dragon hiding in the clouds, underwater, or sand. This tsuba depicts a dragon that shows a part of the undulating body and a head, exuding dignity. Both of the hitsu-ana holes have been filled in, and it was probably used to a long uchigatana style koshirae in the late Edo period. |
