TSUBA - in Rolling Brook Gallery, Special Collections: Tsuba (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798881366865)

Rolling Brooks Gallery hosts an eclectic range of hand-carved timber artworks, snuff bottles, antique/vintage carved camphor chests, and many East Asian edged weapons. The Tsuba, hand guard to the Samurai warrior's Katana, has captivated the Gallery's heart and holds centre stage. This book is a result of the gallery's current digitisation efforts and is the first official point of access for the gallery, along with its Insta social media page. A wide range of Tsuba styles, themes, and construction methods are seen with the aid of over 200 colour photos showcasing 100+ Tsuba hand guards. Photos depicting the actual size of the Tsuba have also been included. A comprehensive glossary summarises the historical terminology that is used within the book, and a bibliography lists the modern/current references used in providing the book's information.
