Document source description
On the lower right of the tsuba stand a Chinese immortal and his attendent. A crane flies across the upper left. Cranes are a symbol of longevity. This sage may be Kangai, who is often shown with a crane. On the reverse is a small stream. The composition of this tsuba is almost identical to another in the collection by Hirotoshi (Walters 51.98).
