NihontoWatchNihontoWatchBakumatsu period Mumei, with Hozon Tosogu Kanteisho as Kyo Kinko Dai: Tate: 67.6, Yoko: 63.9, Atsu: 4.4, Weight: 96g Sho: Tate: 64.7, Yoko: 61.8, Atsu: 4.3, Weight: 90g Shibuichi nanako-ji, tatemaru-gata, ji-sukashi, suemon zogan iroe, kin-fukurin mimi, ryohitsu kin-ume (Dai), kata-hitsu ana (Sho) This is a very rare daisho tsuba set. Cloud patterns are pierced through a fine shibuichi nanako-ji. On the dai-tsuba, a crescent moon and stars are placed within the sukashi and decorated with iroe. On the sho-tsuba, clouds are similarly pierced, and a gold moon is placed within the sukashi. The technique of piercing a pattern and then placing the moon and stars inside it is something I have never seen before and is quite surprising. While it is given a kiwame of Kyo Kinko, in any case, it seems to have been a quite provocative style for that time. In a dedicated paulownia box
