Ed Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 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. 9 Quote
Vermithrax16 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 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. 1 Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted October 13, 2018 Report Posted October 13, 2018 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. -S- p.s.-the new camera did a fine job. 1 Quote
Ed Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Posted October 13, 2018 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. 2 Quote
