Crozan Leather Sewing Tsuba

 Kendo shinai tsuba crafted from Crozan leather (Kurozangawa). Its elegant colour perfectly complements the shinai.

Kurozangawa is a traditional Japanese leather made by subjecting domestically produced Japanese cattle leather to shrink processing and then applying lacquer finishing. Since it's hard to be damaged and is strong, this leather has been historically favoured by samurais in Japan for their armour and weaponry.
