New Koshirae

[Japan2112]

Hello all,

I bought this inexpensive koshirae at the Atlanta show last weekend, but not exactly sure what era or region it may represent. I apologize for the sketchy images, but I just took them quickly on my sofa.

 

I like the perfect brown ishime saya and deer skin(?) wrap. F/K, and koijiri are iron with bamboo and gourd theme. Menuki are gold crabs on bamboo. Sageo is soft and looks old. Tsuba - nice iron. Maybe Higo?

 

Open to ideas.

 

Thank you.

Hi Mark,

 

Nice Koshirae. Iron fittings, leather Tsuka-ito, metal Kojiri and ishimei Saya. I would go with Higo or Edo Higo..

I am gaining confidence in late Edo Higo. Thanks for all replies.
