Most come with a 9-petal chrysanthemum (one mon found with 7 petals)

Bruce: I was looking for any connection with the number of petals on the various pieces. Notice the beautiful tsuba posted by Peter has 6 petals. Must have to do with space limitations. Have you noticed any connection with the designs?

John,

I haven't tried tracking that.  Might be worth looking into!
