Bruce Pennington Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 This koiguchi is on a mumei gunto being discussed on Warrelics http://www.warrelics.eu/forum/Japanese-militaria/katana-inscription-cloth-help-730056-2/#post1957514 Any ideas what this is on the koiguchi where the cherry blossom should be? The blade is nothing special, an unsigned WWII factory blade, and fittings normal except for this and an extra thin tsuba. Ideas? Quote
vajo Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 I can't see it really. Its very unsharp. Looks like a cherry pit? Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted April 17, 2019 Author Report Posted April 17, 2019 Nick Komiya says it’s a cherry blossom. I can see it now, but it’s crafted in a way I’ve never seen. Quote
TETSUGENDO Posted April 17, 2019 Report Posted April 17, 2019 It is leaves and Cherry blossoms Bruce. Not an area I follow in detail, I have seen a lot of different Gunto mount designs over the years....this is a new one to me as well. -S- 1 Quote
