This kozuka, made by Masaaki of Aizu during the late Edo period, features intricate designs related to Taoist immortals and a poem by Li Bai. The front depicts a gourd, fan, and staff, while the reverse is inscribed with lines from Du Fu's 'Eight Immortals of the Wine Cup' praising Li Bai. It comes with an accompanying kogatana signed 'Geishu ju Fujiwara Masamitsu', making it a rich and appealing piece for collectors.
