Red Higo Koshirae For Sale

[HannesT]

Hello, I'm currently downsizing my collection and would like to pass on some nice items.

 

The first item is a beautiful red Edo period Higo Koshirae. The Tsuka is wrapped in lacquered leather, following the Katate Maki style. The Tsukaito is antique, possibly the original one from the Edo times. The Fuchi/Kashira are made of iron. The Kashira displays the classic Higo design of a winding mountain path. The Fuchi is a masterpiece of Gold Zogan, an absolutely marvelous ornamental work! The Menukis are old Kinko pieces in Shakudo with gold accents, depicting lions or Shishi dogs and lanterns. The Tsuba features a famous design of an Ume or Sakura tree with an irregular mimi. The Seppa are made of copper with gold sheet wrapping. The Saya is red, with a matte lacquered finish and has likely been restored. The Kojiri is made of iron and features a siple but tasteful design. The Sageo is of black sude leather it is also lacquered in red urushi (intricate, masterful workmanship!). The Koshirae comes with a Tsunagi and a Koshirae Bag.
