A question: I was always of the opinion that the tabs holding the sword on a katanakake should be at the same level. Just came across one where this wasn't the case on the lower 2. One side is lower as if the sides were somehow inverted (impossible as the middle section is connected into the wood). Any ideas?

Need a photo. It's hard to visualize what you are describing.

BTW, anyone have an indication of the price of a very good undamaged katanakake in black/gold lacquer with signature of the maker and dating to the late Edo period (1825-1870)? Maker is Nakayama Komin.

I decided to buy this one because I really liked it.

That certainly does look pretty, will it match with that you will display?

 

It is unfortunate the petal pattern on it isn't centered, those perfectionist eyes of mine just can't be helped though. :dunno:

I think it will match. Black lacquered saya in hirumaki style.
