Now available is this Akasaka Seven Bough Pine tsuba.  This is a wonderful rendition of the subject matter and closely emulates others from this and other schools. 

This design first originated with the 1st generation Hayashi Matahachi, though it was a much more impressionist design.  The design would eventually evolve into the more detailed version you see here.

My thought originally was Kamiyoshi as it so closely resembles the Kamiyoshi Fukunobu shown in the Haynes catalog. 

Due to the popularity of the design, it was copied over time other makers and even other schools such as Kamiyoshi, Myochin, Kumagai and as this example Akasaka.
