usfpaul82 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Posted October 4, 2012 Hello all. I would like to piece together a koshirae for a katana I have that is currently in shirasya. I understand that this wont really increase the overall value of the sword, regardless it is something I personally feel I will find enjoyment out of. I will look for edo period fitting (tsuba, fuchi, kashira, menuki) and have the saya and tsuka custom made for my sword. This will be a long process for me as I only intend to purchase one piece at a time over a total span of maybe two years. My question is, what is the best way to go about it? I have a pretty good idea of the theme I am aiming for, but should I look for the pieces in a certain order? Maybe fuchi/kashira first, then tsuba, then menuki? Or is it just more a luck of the draw and finding the right piece at the right time? Thanks all Quote
