Inspired by the iconic Hannya mask from Japanese Noh theater, this tsuba represents intensity, strength, and deep emotion. It is a powerful design choice for kendoka who appreciate traditional symbolism with a striking visual presence.

The tsuba can be used in shiai by flipping it so the design faces downward. A faint line from the printing process may be visible and should not be considered a defect.
