This koshirae features fittings adorned with various Tensho-style characters, intricately inlaid with rich gold and silver nunome-zogan on an iron ground. The vermilion lacquered saya evokes the splendor of the Momoyama period, complemented by a robust and rugged kojiri fitting. The design incorporates what appears to be a seal impression, with the kojiri specifically featuring not only characters but also elaborate designs of amaryu (rain dragons) and tsubo-in (jar seals). The hilt is wrapped with nando-iro (dark blue-grey) thread, securing antique menuki depicting the six characters of 'Namu Amida Butsu' in katachibori gold-painted copper. The tsuba, made of iron, presents a simple yet harmonious design of enso (circle) and raimon (thunder pattern), fitting the overall aesthetic of the koshirae.
