Tsuka with Clouds and Chinese Immortals
The kashira is decorated with the same stylized clouds as the matching tsuba and fuchi. Each menuki is in the shape of a standing Chinese figure. One holds a book and the other bears a halberd. These are probably Chinese immortals. This is part of a mounted set.
