Itomagoi Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Hello, I wanted to show you my Habaki. I have never seen one before like this and the special thing is that the habaki is made of iron. 5 2 Quote
b.hennick Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Have you texted it with a magnet? I collect iron habaki. Your looks quite different thrash mine (2). Quote
Itomagoi Posted March 7, 2021 Author Report Posted March 7, 2021 Yep, I tested it with a magnet and scratched it a bit from the inside with a nail to check the color of the material. Quote
Geraint Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 Dear Peter. Yes this is cool! Something about the style of decoration and the cross hatched ground preparation for the nunome suggests to me that this is not entirely Japanese. Is this an isolated piece or does it form part of koshirae? All the best. Quote
Itomagoi Posted March 8, 2021 Author Report Posted March 8, 2021 Hi Geraint, the habaki is mounted on a wakizashi with very high quality koshirae. :-) 1 Quote
Geraint Posted March 9, 2021 Report Posted March 9, 2021 Dear Peter. Thank you for the photographs. I am no further forward with this idea and none else has chimed in so perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree with this idea. All the best. Quote
