Sorry to revive this, but about the symbols on the kozuka and fuchikashira, someone told me that the butterfly bears resemblance to the Taira agehacho and the tessen probably refers to Taira no Kiyomori who ruled Japan for some time in the Heian period. He seems to also have been known for using a hand fan as a weapon for the first time...Well, who knows; 

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one, unless your post is really relevant and adds to the topic..
