During the Edo period, Chōshū (present Yamaguchi pref.) was one of the prominent tsuba production regions, alongside Edo, Mito, and Aizu. The tsubas from this region were characterized by circular iron polished surface and adorned with intricate carvings of landscapes or flowers in openwork designs.

This particular Tsuba, with a solid and solidly weighty feel, features finely polished brownish iron base with a rich textured surface. It depicts seasonal scenes that consists of snow on bare trees, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, and irises, all carved in relief "Nikubori" with openwork designs. The two punches of "Hitsu-ana" are enhanced with uniquely shaped diamond patterns, filled with Shakludo (an alloy of copper and gold) engraved with bundled bamboo pattern, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal.

Late to mid-Edo period.
