NihontoWatchNihontoWatch"Reiju" (sacred beasts designed) fittings, Cha ishimeji nuri saya, aikuchi wakizashi koshirae Moto-haba (width at Ha-machi) approx. 2.82cm Likely intended to house a Nanbokucho period kowakizashi, this koshirae exudes a rugged character while being adorned with reiju-zu fittings, showing attention to aesthetic beauty and excellent handling. The saya is cha ishimeji nuri. The fuchi-kashira, kuchigane, kurigata, and kojiri are a matching set, featuring reiju-zu such as ho-o, ryu, genbu, and kirin designed in marumon on suaka ishimeji with takabori and kin-iroe. The kozuka and warigogai are a pair featuring unryu-zu in rogin-ji with takabori and kin-gin-shakudo iroe, matching the overall atmosphere. The menuki also feature unryu-zu in katachibori with kin-gin iroe, set upon samegawa where the kuro-urushi application was devised to show the large oyatsubu, and wrapped in ryohishimaki with kuro-urushinuri leather. The fact that the fuchi-kanagu part is made slightly thicker to consider the protection of the hand gripping the tsuka, much like a tsuba, cannot be overlooked from a practical standpoint.
