Interesting Koshirae

[javier]

Hi 

 

I am attaching a few pictures from an interesting koshirae, this piece belongs to a small Japanese collection in the National Weapons Museum located in Buenos Aires, Argentina. 

 

According to the description this piece is a Shirisaya  (Bear skin) no Tachi. I saw that this type of saya was discussed in the forum in the past.

 

 

Some details about the blade inside this koshirae:

 

Jidai: Nanbokucho

 

Ubu Nakago,

 

Nagasa 94cm length, 

 

Kissaki: Hirazukuri. 

 

Mei: AISHYU-SHYU AKIHIRO 

 

Date: December 1369

 

Unfortunately I still was not able to see the blade outside the saya, but probably I will be able in a time soon and for sure will provide some pictures.

I'd like to see pics (always), and for the ones of the koshirae, after looking for 30 seconds, my neck really started to hurt, could you rotate them?

 

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Bernard!

A very expensive and rare koshirae. Make sure they take good care of it, and please post pics of the blade if and when you are able to get some.
