This kozuka features a detailed ajiro (wickerwork) pattern covering the entire surface, with a warrior's sleeve and whip depicted in high relief. Made during the mid-Edo period, it showcases intricate carving and gold accents, creating a sense of a warrior's presence without directly portraying a figure. The design is rich in detail, with the ajiro pattern providing a refined background for the dynamic composition of the sleeve and whip.
