京透とは山城国で製作された地透鐔で尾張・金山・赤坂鍔などとともに有名な透鐔である。他の透鍔と同様に室町後期にその透の手法ができたとされており、江戸期に京透鍔は尾張鍔の無骨で力強さを感じる造りとは対照に優雅で繊細である。文様は洗練され品があり、京都の文化が感じられる作風となる。その中でも江戸中期に鍔商、大文字五郎兵衛が扱った鍔は特に洗練れた出来の良い鍔であり。それらの鍔を総称して大五郎鍔という。

Title: Monsyosei zu Tsuba

Sign: Gyoku ryu ken Nobukatsu

Certification: N.B.T.H.K. Hozon Tousougu

Size: Length 67.5mm, Width 61mm, Thickness 3mm

Period: Late Edo

School: Iwama school

Explanation
The Iwama school, founded by Masayoshi Iwama, has produced many skilled craftsmen such as Shinsui, Shinro, Shangluo, and Nobukatsu. Since Masayoshi Iwama studied under Naoyuki Hamano, the Iwama school left behind magnificent works characterized by the high carving of the Hamano style, producing many excellent pieces.
This piece also features high relief inlay and color painting typical of the Hamano style, showcasing fine craftsmanship.

The diagram of Monsyosei (also known as Bunshousei)
The four stars of the ladle-shaped part formed from the first star of the Big Dipper, Kaisei, are deified as Tokai in China, revered as the god of high-ranking officials and success in the imperial examination. The character for 'kai' (demon) is composed of the characters for 'oni' and 'to' (ladle), depicted as a dancing deity holding a brush in the right hand and a ladle in the left.
Bunshousei shines as the six stars next to Tokai, and together they are considered the gods of literature.
These concepts were transmitted from China, and in Japan, they were regarded as deities bringing peace and prosperity, often depicted with a shachi (mythical creature).

School: Touryusai school

Explanation
The Touryusai school was founded by Kiyotoshi Tanaka, who was born in the first year of the Bunka era and was known to have connections with Haruaki Hōgen. The school developed a clever style known as the Touryusai style, training many disciples, including Toshikage, Toshimune, and Toshimura.
Toshikage, also known as Matsugorō Morikawa, used the names Hohshinsai and Hōmei-sai, creating animal and plant designs in the Touryusai style. His skills were high, and he was a fine craftsman of the Touryusai school.
This piece is a tsuba depicting the Ohsyukubai (plum tree) in the Touryusai style, featuring a silver inlay with a carved design on the back, which is very characteristic of the Touryusai style. It showcases the craftsmanship of Toshikage and is a remarkable piece with significant age.

Ohsyukubai
During the reign of Emperor Murakami, the emperor ordered a magnificent plum tree from the residence of Ki no Tsurayuki's daughter because the plum tree in Seiryōden had withered. The daughter replied with a poem, saying, "If it is the emperor's command, I will gladly offer it, but what should I say if the nightingale that visits every year asks, 'Where is my home?'" The emperor was moved by this elegant response and returned the plum tree to its original garden.
