Dear Kagamibuta fans, Have one and only. Bought for many years ago. As You can see,made of Antler. Motive, flowers and butterfly.Botan of different metals on top. Wishes Andrew

Hi John, Thank You for showing your nice kozuka. It is always dificullt to judge from pictures.Allt details appears and sometime worse and sometimes often better in hand. Allt detailes will come forward in perhaps not that correct way. Have been looking in at the mei that You asked information about. It`s as the translation says Omori Terumasa, The head Master of the Omori school. I would say the mei is correct. Of cause a NBTHK jugdement would be the final and correct but as i could see the mei is correct for Terumasa. All best Andrew
