Hachiwari

[Baka Gaijin]

Good Evening all,

 

Here's a Hachiwari/Kabutowari which has just come into my possession.

 

I reckon it's late late 19th/early 20th Century Tourist???.

 

Missing its habaki and probably a threaded screw type mekugi.

 

Carved and lacquered with Cinnabar coloured Urushi.

 

Interesting "stepped" Nakago Jiri.

 

I throw it open to you all:

 

Cheers

 

Malcolm

 

P.S.

Thanks Guido for the knots
