vajo Posted November 13, 2024 Report Posted November 13, 2024 Krystian gave me better pictures of the sword. Its really nice and a good textbook example of the Bamboo Leaf Pattern. 2 1 Quote
FletchSan Posted September 25, 2025 Report Posted September 25, 2025 Picked this Koshirae up recently and thought I'd post to add to this thread. Looks to be one of the civilian sakura tsuba with matching fuchi kashira. 2 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 25, 2025 Report Posted September 25, 2025 Seeing these on fully civil swords seems to support Thomas' ( @Kiipu) idea that these were mass produced fittings during the war that were being used by both civilian buyers and Gunzoku. Quote
vajo Posted September 25, 2025 Report Posted September 25, 2025 (edited) Love it Ben. It looks perfect. Very nice. I like the saya too. Edited September 25, 2025 by vajo Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted January 5 Report Posted January 5 Found this one on an auction site. Slightly different in that it's got the bamboo leaf tsuba, but sakura fuchi, and plain kabutogane: It has a 1940 Hidetoshi blade in it. 2 Quote
