I had not seen a fuchi like this before and it caught my attention when I first encountered it. Myochin were of course armourers and also produced tsuba with overlapping plates to simulate armour  (see picture below), which this Fuchi (and a kashira) may have been designed to accompany. It’s a shame the kashira is missing, otherwise I would have bought it when I seen it (the seller is an acquaintance of mine whom I visit every month)

 

Image of the Myochin tsuba is from Nihonto.us - http://www.nihonto.us/MYOCHIN NOBUYOSHI TSUBA.htm
