This elegant pair of menuki features a finely rendered grape motif and is attributed by the NBTHK to the Kyō Kinkō tradition. Unsigned, these menuki are notable for their solid gold construction (kin mukuji), crafted using the katachibori sculptural technique. The design symbolizes abundance, fertility, and prosperity, reflecting the sophisticated artistry of Kyoto's soft metal craftsmen during the Edo period.

We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
