Maru Gata (丸形, Round) tsuba. Design of Kamon (花文, Floral), in Sukashi (透), opening. Round border Maru Mimi, with Kozuka Ana.
It is a reproduction of a Tsuba with a floral pattern (not identified) of a flower with 6 petals. This Tsuba was created in the mid Muromachi (around the 15th century).
The finesse of its design differs from what can be found in the Kyō-Sukashi and Ko-Shōami schools, which makes this Tsuba distinctively Umetada, Ko-Umetada (古埋忠) in this case.
Umetada 埋忠 is a Japanese school of forging and metal work referring to Umetada Myoju (1558-1631), a blacksmith from Kyoto, became the founder of the manufacture of what we call the «new sabres», or shinto, and ranked among the great designers and manufacturers of sabre guards, alongside Kaneie and Nobuie.
The Umetada school has its origins in the Shoami school 正阿彌, and there were already works of type Umetada before the formalization of the school by Myoju Umetada. These older guards, from the time of Muromachi, are called Ko-Umetada, or old Umetada.
