NihontoWatchNihontoWatchThis menuki is formed from a shakudo substrate with a plump uchidashi, the edges narrowed and carved in high relief with a three-dimensional feel, and the surface is incised with a chisel to cleanly express the swaying of garments and the movement of limbs. The wings of the butterfly and the wings of the Karyobinga are finished in gold iroe, while the patterns on the clothing are rendered in lustrous hira-zogan.

Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
