Kashira comments

[Veli]

I had the opportunity to see some Tosogu today. This Kashira looked well carved to me. Unfortunately the fuchi was gone and replaced by a plain iron one. The owner does not have any information about this item, and since I know very little about tosogu, I promised to ask some comments from NMB.

Thanks in advance!

It's in the style of Omori school, but not Omori work..not up to their standards. Still a nice piece.If you search the forum for Omori, you will see lots of this work that resembles but falls short.
