Ray Singer Posted August 17, 2020 Report Posted August 17, 2020 Yoshimitsu. It has 'that look' of something made as a gimei of Toshiro, rather than one of the other Yoshimitsu like Tosa, etc... Quote
sechan Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Posted August 17, 2020 Thank you, what is the silver look button at the end of tsuka for? Quote
Geraint Posted August 17, 2020 Report Posted August 17, 2020 Dear Steve. Sorry to say that your pictures d not show up very large and so this is somewhat of a guess. You will notice that the tsuka has a cut away around the silver button, this is reported to be so that when grasping such an aikuchi within the folds of the kimono it is possible to tell which way around it is and hence know where the cutting edge is before drawing the blade. The silver button, if it is only on one side, may be to help with this. Nice silver foil habaki, better pictures please. All the best. Quote
sechan Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Posted August 17, 2020 Thanks again, will try to take a better picture. Quote
