KAGA Kozuka

 

Here is a rare opportunity to own a Kaga Kozuka.  Kaga was a prolific and well respected sword fitting production center due in large part by the sponsorship of the Maeda family.  The School is known for its high quality shakudo and terrific inlay.  Here is an opportunity to own a kozuka from the edo period (18th/19th century). The kozuka is done in shakudo with typical kaga style inlays of gold and silver (and/or some other metals).  The front of the Kozuka is a branch of blossoming peaches with leaves and flowers.  It is very beautiful.  On the back, it is often very common to find a kebori carving on a Kaga piece and true to form there is a fan with a  large branch.  Size is approximately 97mm x 14 mm x 5mm. I will consider trades with items that have a praying mantis. I am asking $600 + shipping.  If using internet payment please add fees.  I will ship worldwide but outside the US, I can not accept liability.  Sold as is so Please ask questions.  I have tried to capture piece in pictures but I am not the best photographer nor is my camera (there is some reflection on the shakudo among other places but I wanted to capture inlay).  I think if you can appreciate quality work you will appreciate this kozuka.  Thanks for looking!
