My main line of study is tsuba so I don't know so much about other parts of koshirae.

This seems to me a a jintachi or handachi koshirae.

The saya is in ki urushi mijin nuri style with gold makie.

But it's the first time I saw this kind of cloth, weave instead the itomaki.

Someone has any ideas?

 

Thank you very much.

Hi,

simple: the itomaki is missing on this saya.

It is customary to place brocade instead of same under the itomaki at the top of the saya and on the tsuka of a traditional itomaki-no-tachi-koshirae.

Greetings
