Tokubetsu Hozon Kozuka for Sale
Tokubetsu Hozon kozuka are the decorative handles of the small knife seated in a sword's scabbard, certified at the NBTHK's "Especially Worthy" tier. Across their palm-sized surface, makers of the Goto, Mino, and machibori traditions worked gold, silver, and shakudo into scenes of remarkable refinement. The Tokubetsu Hozon paper distinguishes these as superior examples — pieces of confirmed quality and secure attribution that stand a step above the foundational Hozon grade.
