This was the Koshirae that accompanied the Yamato Shikkake. Tensho build. New black urushi Saya, Hozon papered Tsuba, Dark green doe and ray skin Tsukamaki. Nice quality menuki that appear to be a pair of Phoenix. Just learned how to tie the Sageo (took a long 30 mins to figure out the second half). And there is a quite unusual Bashin. Appears to be silver judging be the weight and tarnish. The wave motif matches nicely with the design on the Tsuba.

Overall a wonderful simple companion piece for the Shikkake.

I have to say I love both the Shikkake and this koshirae. Not far off of what I'd eventually like to put together for myself if I'm able. All told seems like an excellent start to a collection!
