The purpose of these drawings is to help swordmakers and propmakers. When it comes to making katana's or zanpakuto's most of the time the tsuba is the most unique part of the sword. It is the part of the katana which has most of design. So I drew up these closely detailed and accurate measurements of these tsuba's. With these tsuba's they act as a reference when your going to attempt to make the sword. If you use a scene from a anime or manga to make use reference for your tsuba, it might be flawed. So I have saved you the trouble and drawn them all out clearly, with measurements so you can print and cut them out.
Nejibana: So anyway I had overlooked the fact that there was atleast one full shot of kaiens nejibana tsuba being used by that espada guy. So a friend had showed it to me, I got to work and drew it out. But gosh the spear is a much more cooler looking weapon then an unreleased zanpakuto. Just look at all those swirly details on the tsuba, most likely represents water becuase kaiens zanpakuto seems water element based. Too bad were never gonna see this tsuba again, ever for reasons that are spoilers.
Nanao Ise's Tsuba: The mysterious tsuba is finnaly revealed. You see the only picture was from the colour book from bleach "all colour but the black" I think its called. The one scan with all the vice captains revealed she had a zanpakuto and a tsuba. But it was too damn small to make out any detail. Then I decided to search for a better picture and too my luck someone had scanned in that page with the area on Nanao Ise, magnified. Then I could see the tsuba then I drew it straight away. Now maybe cosplayers will know how to make Nanao Ises zanpakuto now that they can see the tsuba clearly XD
Important Notes:
. ALL these guards slide into swords with a thicnkess of 5 mm and 30 mm long, there are some exceptions. .The parrallel lines are the rims of the guards that you cut out of balsa wood and glue onto the main guard. .Download the full version, then copy and paste it, print it off then cut it out with scissors. .Once it the paper tsuba is cut out, then draw around it with a pencil on the wood, then cut it out to finish.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

Envy and greed are the motivating forces of ambition - and without ambition, very little of any importance would be accomplished.
