LDR Posted February 4, 2008 Report Posted February 4, 2008 Does anyone have an clues as the age/school etc of this koshirae set. Its quite short so presume its for a wakizashi. Its a very nice looking piece with flower patterned Kashira and Fuchi. The tsuba seems to be water and flowers, and the menki are also flowers. The saya is black with orange flecks. Anyway, all thoughts on this would be much appreciated. Thanks Lewis Quote
