This is a han-dachi koshirae (mounting) in the Higo style, featuring a red ishime-ji nuri saya (scabbard) and a red lacquered tsuka (handle). The fittings are all made of iron with nunome-zogan (cloth-pattern inlay) in the distinctive Higo style. The tsuba is an otafuku-shaped iron plate with a faint color tone, featuring a flower paulownia design with Genji-ko patterns on the ura side, highlighted by gold nunome-zogan.
NihontoWatch
The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
Under the Tokugawa peace the daishō became a regulated uniform, and demand gathered in the castle towns, above all Edo itself. The craft split two ways: brilliant display work for connoisseurs, and tested blades whose cutting results were sometimes inlaid in gold.
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
If, due to our fault, the item differs significantly from its proper condition, the item may be returned. Cooling-off is within one week of the item's arrival.
