This is an unsigned kozuka featuring a dynamic design of a dragon amidst crashing waves, rendered in gold overlay on a deep blackish-brown ground. The intricate carving captures the powerful movement of the dragon and the turbulent water, creating a sense of depth and motion. Unusually, this kozuka houses an umahari (horse needle) instead of a kogatana, reflecting the practical tools of the Edo period.
