Help: Unusual Koshirae, Meiji?


Recommended Posts

I am looking for information concerning this koshirae. I was told it might be from the russian-Japanese war. Obviously it is not made for battle. The tsuba looks odd and the brass seems to be machined. The negoro stylish saya might be a reference to the koto inside. Who wore such mountings and at which occasion? Is there recommendable literature?

 

Looking forward to your expertise with kind regards,

Robert

Dave, you are right. Thank you very much for giving me the right direction.
 

Concerning material: It is not cast, but made of brass sheets.
Concerning quality, thanks to the Toppei hint I was amazed to find similar worked sheet metal with hozon certificate.
