Tokubetsu Hozon Menuki for Sale

Tokubetsu Hozon menuki are the small sculptural ornaments set beneath the wrapping of a sword handle, certified at the NBTHK's "Especially Worthy" tier. Made in mirror-image pairs depicting dragons, deities, and episodes from legend, the best menuki concentrate extraordinary detail into a few centimeters of gold and shakudo. The Tokubetsu Hozon paper confirms each pair as a superior, securely attributed work — a refined step up from the foundational Hozon grade.
