| The river cicada is a beautiful blue bird that lives near water. Since it always catches its target prey with its long beak, it has been considered an auspicious bird since ancient times, symbolizing the fulfillment of wishes, and a symbol of good fortune in the summer. This tsuba is a openwork tsuba with a design of a river cicada resting on a reed. The style is thought to be from the Ito school. |
