Wanted to stop in and show off a new koshirae Robert Hughes just finished up for my Shigenobu blade . Ray Singer helped find the matching fittings and suggested the tensho style koshirae . It turned out way better than i had imagined it . Thanks guys ! Amazing job ! !

Newbie koshirae questions
ZoomZ replied to Jeff fromNYC's topic in General Nihonto Related Discussion
You have to decide if the blade is worth the money you will spend on fittings and having the koshirae built . First thing is finding the fittings you want to see on the sword that have a matching theme , then pack up the blade and fittings and send them to the builder . Second thing is time and money , $2-2500 and up for someone to make and put together the koshirae and 6 -12 months to finish . -
Funny thing happened on the way to koshirae this week . Normally a kogatana does not have to be registered when coming into Japan . This week though , if the kogatana is in shirasaya when it arrives at check in it is considered a sword and needed to be registered even though it was under 13cm . If it had arrived with no shirsaya and just wrapped in something or installed in the kozuka and wrapped up it would not need to be registered
