    "description": "This tsuka is made entirely of metal, with the menuki attached directly to hilt rather than held in place with wrapped cord. One menuki is in the shape of two sumo wrestlers. One wrestler has lifted the other off his feet. On the reverse is the referee. The kashira is shaped like a warrior's helmet. This is part of a mounted set.",
