[Ray Singer]

This is a set of daisho koshirae which really represents the goal of anyone looking to acquire daisho fittings. An unaltered and intact koshirae dating back to the Edo period which is as it was when it was carried by a samurai of that era. The fittings all in waves, flowers and chidori, and of beautiful quality. The fuchigashira are a matched daisho set of namichodori (plovers flying over waves). The menuki and kozuka are of flowers and flower baskets, with the kozuka being a really lovely pieces, having quality carving and depth. The tsuba are signed set of Masakatsu iron of octagonal shape. Both saya are matched in black lacquer and very fine lines depicting maru ni mitsutomoe kamon (family crests of three comma within a circle). Due the quality, condition and intact nature of this set, it was awarded current Tokubetsu Hozon by the NBTHK.
