Naokatsu Koshirae Origami

Recommended Posts

Last January this tanto was a posted f/s item on NMB. The text describing the koshirae is well beyond my Japanese. I'm not expecting a full translation, but would love to see how the metal of the fittings is described. They appear to be silver, but this is what I'd like to verify or if not solid silver, what it is called. Motif is of course a waves design with dragon menuki. Work is unsigned and late Edo, but all quite beautiful. Thanks in advance...Ron STL
