NAOTANE KOSHIRAE DESCRIPTION

[Ron STL]

Attadhed is the desceiption of a Higo style koshirae that goes with a Naotane katana.. I a;m weak when it comes to translating wat is said about a koshirae origami. If someone could translate what is said on this origami I would be so thankful. I believe these descriptions can be very general, but it all helps is appreciating our collection. Thanks!

We are all weak at this, Ron! 

Since they are attempting generally to describe an object, including menuki and tsuba, etc., it often helps us to get the translation more exact if we can see the object being described! If you'd prefer not to show it, that is understandable, though.
