AN OTSUKI SCHOOL SENTOKU TSUBA DEPICTING THE HUMILIATION OF KANSHIN

By Otsuki Mitsuhiro, signed Mitsuhiro with kakihan
Japan, 19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)

The sentoku tsuba of square form with indented corners, with a kozuka hitsu-ana, finely worked in shishiaibori engravings to depict Kanshin crawling between the legs of a peasant, the reverse with a figure carrying a basket, signed MITSUHIRO with kakihan (artist’s cursive monogram).

Otsuki Mitsuhiro (1795-1841) is listed in the Haynes Index of Japanese Sword Fittings and Associated Artists on pp. 1056 (H 05188.0) and was the first son of Otsuki Mitsuoki (H 05375.0). He was also an expert on armor and wrote about the subject.

In Chinese legend, Kanshin (in Chinese, Han Xin, 231-196 B.C.) was the celebrated son of a prince of Han who was challenged by a ruffian to crawl between his legs in a public place. He consented to this humiliation rather than create a disturbance or fight with a man of lowly rank.

Museum comparison:
A closely related sentoku tsuba with herons in a lotus pond by Otsuki Mitsuhiro is in the Walters Art Museum, accession number 51.137.
