Description: | This nademaru, dote mimi, shakudo tsuba is carved in maru bori, sometimes this Soten style is called Hikone bori. The maker has used a maru bori technique with gold iroe embellishments. The omote mei identifies the maker as Kaneishi Nomura Kan-enori. The inscription on the ura reads Omi Shu, Hikone (no) Ju. This tsuba maker was a pupil of Soten II, son of the founder of the Soten School who was working in the period 1716-36. This suggests that Nomura Kanenori was active during the early to middle period of the 18th century.
