The zutsu houses the katana in its koshirae. The zutsu is stored like a tachi on a tachi kake. You need only little space and the zutsu looks like a nice safe.
I do not have any zutsu experience..
what is your opinion..
The samurai was Kawaji Toshiakira the owner of the Naokatsu, the Marble palace houses the sword until 1926.
