Description: | Tetsu, ko-sukashi, nademaru gata, kaku mimi tsuba. It has a marubori design which two possible interpretations. The Chinese style clothes suggest the image is of Kwan Yu, the famous Chinese general and his attendant; however the figure behind him has a demon look to its features which means the design could be of Hakuhaku and the demon (see OJ 178). The mei reads Inazu.
