Title: Mythical and Narrative Japanese Tsuba Designs – Plate XIII from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s Decorative Art Collection
Description: Plate XIII from Section VI of G. A. Audsley’s decorative art series presents six remarkable Japanese sword guards (tsuba), showcasing intricate designs steeped in mythology, narrative, and artistic mastery. Published by Sampson Low
Co. and printed by Lemercier
Cie in Paris, this chromolithograph exemplifies Audsley’s commitment to celebrating the craftsmanship of Edo-period sword fittings.
Each tsuba is a distinct work of art, intricately engraved with a blend of narrative and symbolic motifs. The designs include dynamic battle scenes, a fearsome dragon entwined with architectural elements, and mythical figures such as Oni (demons) and traditional warriors. Other notable features include depictions of cranes, intricate foliage, and human figures engaged in storytelling moments, capturing the essence of Japanese mythology and culture.
The central aperture and accompanying holes for the sword blade and its accessories are thoughtfully integrated into each design, enhancing their artistic coherence. Rendered in monochromatic tones, this print highlights the fine textures, depth, and craftsmanship of these exquisite pieces.
Condition: The print is in very good condition, with sharp details and minimal signs of age. Light foxing in the margins is present but does not detract from the artwork’s overall appeal.
Provenance: Published by Sampson Low
Co., printed by Lemercier
Cie, Paris
This rare and intricately detailed print is ideal for collectors of Japanese art, antique weaponry, or enthusiasts of decorative design. Perfect for framing, it serves as a striking testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
