A FINE MITO SCHOOL IRON TSUBA DEPICTING THE THREE SAKE TASTERS

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

The iron tsuba of mokkogata form with foliate rims, with a kozuka and kogai hitsu-ana, the nakago-ana with some suaka sekigane, finely worked in gold, silver, suaka, and iron hirazogan with gilt highlights to depict the Three Sake Tasters—Shaka (The historical Buddha), Koshi (Confucius), and Roshi (Laozi)—convening around a sake jar decorated with geometric motifs, all below pines and scrolling clouds, the reverse similarly decorated with scrolling clouds and craggy rocks.

HEIGHT 9.2 cm, LENGTH 8.6 cm
WEIGHT 173.7 g

Condition: Very good condition with minor wear.

With a padded wood tomobako box.

The subject represents Sakusui Sankyo with three sages, Shaka (The historical Buddha), Koshi (Confucius), and Roshi (Laozi), who are often depicted tasting sake from a jar. This depiction is a metaphor explaining that although religious or philosophical origins are expressed differently, ultimately, they are derived from the same source.

Auction comparison:
Compare a closely related Mito school tsuba with the three sake tasters at Sotheby’s, Japanese Works of Art, Prints & Paintings, 9 November 2006, London, lot 924.
