Okamoto Tetsugendo Naoshige (d. 1780), also known as Shoraku, was the founder of the large and prosperous Tetsugendo school. Together with Ichinomiya Nagatsune (1722-1787) and Otsuki Mitsuoki (1766-1834) he is considered one of the Kyoto sansaku (three masters). The subject of these tsuba was taken from a painting by Hanabusa Itcho (1652-1724).
