Yagyu tsuba originated with the fourth generation head of the Owari Yagyu
family, Renya, who ordered the production of tsubas which best met the Yagyu
fighting techniques.
This tsuba features a triangle and star motif which relate to the three
teachings of Buddhism around virtue, mind, and wisdom. These three elements
"Sangaku" also formed a part of Yagyu training.
