Tengu1957 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Posted April 13, 2022 Koto Katana Osuriage - Oei jidai ( 1394-1428 ) with Honami attribution to Bizen Smith of this period with modern Hozon paper to same Smith. I wanted to post this because of the Chidori bird theme. Samurai respected these birds because they migrated for long distance across the ocean and many would perish in the process. Because of this they became symbols of perseverance. Edo period Koshirae in silver all of Chidori bird and waves theme. 6 1 1 1 Quote

ChrisW Posted April 14, 2022 Report Posted April 14, 2022 I mean to ask: is that orange lacquer on it or what other treatment could it be? Thanks! Quote
