Sword Guard (Tsuba) Depicting Hanshan and Shide (寒山拾得図鐔) ca. 1615–1868 Japanese This tsuba is interpreted in katachibori, meaning that the motif forms its outlines. Hanshan (寒山, Japanese: Kanzan) is shown on top with his scroll forming the entire right and bottom part of the tsuba. The reverse shows a broom, which is the attribute of Shide (拾得, Japanese: Jittoku), thus we have both of the popular figures represented on this tsuba. The face and hands of Hanshan are inlaid in copper and parts of his garments and the end of his scroll are highlighted in Sword Guard (Tsuba) Depicting Hansha
