A SUPERB SUAKA TSUBA WITH MEOTO IWA (‘MARRIED COUPLE ROCKS’)

Unsigned
Japan, late 18th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

Of marugata form, with a kozuka hitsu-ana, the copper ground lined with a shibuichi rim and finely worked in shakudo, gold, and silver to depict meoto iwa (wedded rocks) joined by a shimenawa (rope of rice straw) and surrounded by water, mirrored on the reverse, each side neatly incised in kebori with radiating lines evocative of sunlight.

DIAMETER 7.2 cm
WEIGHT 163 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear.

Meoto Iwa, or Married Couple Rocks, are a kind of rock formation seen as religiously significant in Shinto. According to Shinto, the rocks represent the union of Izanagi and Izanami. The rocks, therefore, celebrate the union in marriage of man and woman.

Museum comparison:
Compare a related suaka tsuba, also dated to the late 18th century, 7.8 cm diameter, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 43.120.811.
