Rabbit Themed Koshirae

[Ed]

I have mentioned this sword and koshirae in the past, but had never taken photos of it.  Well, while playing with a new camera I decided today was the day.

 

The sword in question is a Boy's Day sword or Chigo-sashi.  The sword is signed and papered to Sandai Hisamichi.

 

Koshirae is rabbit and floral themed.  The F/K are a Mino floral set, the menuki are long eared wabbits.  The saya is black lacquer with rabbits among the fall grasses. The entire work was done in Japan.

GREAT Ed!!! I love the rabbit/hare motif. Great matched set and over all theme. Thanks for posting this.

 

Love the menuki, I have a set a bit like it.

Ed,

 

Just imagine the joy on the face of the young man who received this lovely gift, all those years ago.  NMB's rabbit fanciers , and there are a good few, will enjoy this.

p.s.-the new camera did a fine job.

Actually, as you see it now was my doing and the delight was on the face of a young girl, my daughter.  I had the sword polished and papered along with the koshirae made in Japan probably a decade ago or more.  Took me this long to photograph it  .

 

Thanks, I think the camera is going to work out fine.

It's a great job Ed, I'm sure your daughter treasures it.
