No idea really, I think it's one of those things that once I see it I'll know if I want it

One of the reasons i wanted to see other people's or even ones that people really enjoy.

not a tachi kake but i love this

on the tachi kake front i'm really not sure, i like quite simple and elegant.

I don't know if one exists but the saya i would like to match it to has split grass stems under the lacquer. something with a similar motif would be nice

I would not rest a sword in a tachi kake. Better is to store it on a normal kake if you want to present the sword. 

 

Hi Chris,

I store all my swords in sword bags in the dark and don't usually display them at all (except a single Gunto I have in my library) but would like to own an authentic Tachi Kake that I like the look of at some point. I'm more interested in seeing the variety that other members have

ah that's a nice display, interesting to make a Tokonoma.

I have a small room in my library that i store them in but they're all in bags inside cases. Never got round to making them look nice, it's a fine line between what I want and what the wife says will happen :D

Kamakura is famous for a style of carving and lacquer work; Kamakura-bori - when I lived there this was in the window of a local shop specializing in Kamakura-bori ware. I used to pass by about once a month and try to buy it but the owner said it was there for advertising and not for sale - he said I couldn't afford to have him carve another...

I plan on building one like this, using curved bamboo as the tail.

Never knew tachi kake came in such a variety of forms!

 

An attention-getting companion piece to the standard deer-antler katana kake might be a tachi kake made by articulating a deer spinal column, using the pelvis as the base, with its natural “cup” to hold the kashira…

This is mine, which I got years ago from a person here on the forum, whom I greet and thank because it is a beautiful piece.

I like this one very much.

 

We've had a number of these threads over the years. Mine has been up a few times before, and I might was well post it again.

Spartan, which is more my aesthetic.
