Description
Gotō Teijō Mitsumasa, the ninth generation of the Gotō family, was born in the eighth year of Keichō (1603) as the legitimate son of the seventh generation Kenjō. He was known in his youth as Toraichi and Minamoto Ichirō, later adopting the name Rihei. He served the Kaga Maeda clan and worked on both the metalwork and financial aspects of the clan, contributing to the development of the Kaga Gotō School. After the death of the eighth generation Sokujo, his son the tenth generation Renjō was still young, so Teijō became the ninth generation and served as Renjō's guardian, a position similar to that of his father Kenjō.
This piece is a Kozuka with a tiger and leopard motif crafted by Teijō and perfected by the fifteenth generation Mitsuyoshi of the Gotō family. As expected from Teijō, the work on the tiger and leopard is meticulous, showcasing excellent chiseling techniques.

　後藤程乗光昌は後藤宗家の九代目であり、七代目顕乗の嫡男として慶長八年（1603）に生まれ、幼銘を寅市、源一郎と称し、のちに理兵衛を襲名している。加賀前田家に出仕し、加賀藩の彫金及び財政面の御用達を置こうとともに、加賀後藤派の発展に尽くた。先代の八代即乗の没後、その子の十代廉乗が幼少だったため九代目となり廉乗の後見となったのも父顕乗と同じ立場になっているのが面白い。 　本作は程乗作の虎豹金紋の小柄と宗家十五代光美が極めたものである。さすが程乗、虎豹の仕事丁寧で、目の鏨の入り方などさすがである。

Introduction of Tsuba from Wakedo Model Number: T380801 Title: Ryugu Shisya zu Tsuba Signature: Syo yo ken Mitsutoshi Nobukatsu Certification: [N.B.T.H.K.] Hozon Tousougu Dimensions: Length 71mm, Width 68mm, Thickness 4.1mm Period: Late Edo School: Yagami school Description Mitsutoshi Nobukatsu of the Yagami school is the younger brother of the first Hizen Yagami Mitsuhiro. He traveled extensively and became a disciple of Nanjo Toshiyuki's family in Edo, marrying Yoshiko, the daughter of the Miyamoto family. After the death of his elder brother, he returned to Hizen Yagami, took over the family business, and adopted the name Naganosuke, becoming the second Mitsuhiro. The Yagami school specializes in iron tsuba and is known for its skill in depicting monkeys, but this piece features intricate high-relief color inlays with a design of the messenger from the Dragon Palace, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship and high skill. Nanjo Toshiyuki became part of the Hamano school, so this remarkable work can indeed be said to be a masterpiece by the second Mitsuhiro, who trained in the Hamano style in Edo.
