For years now I'm trying to find out the proper name (in Japanese of course) for those little fittings (see attached pics) that are used in lieu of shitodome for kashira on tsuka without tsukamaki. I have asked many Japanese collectors and dealers, but haven't gotten a convincing answer so far.

 

If you know the proper term (and kanji) – please step forward!

I'd be interested in knowing also.  A name would be better than calling them "those little pointy thingies".  They do bear a fair resemblance to "gegyo" 懸魚 , the architectural detail found in the gables of Japanese roof design.  Gegyodome???  ;-)

Hm, as it is kind of similar in shape to the kashiwaba (柏葉) of a tachi or handachi koshirae, maybe kashiwaba-dome (柏葉留め)?
