The zutsu houses the katana in its koshirae. The zutsu is stored like a tachi on a tachi kake. You need only little space and the zutsu looks like a nice safe.

I do not have any zutsu experience..

what is your opinion..

Judging by the shade of yellow on this item its Taisho or early Showa and not the first grade product, which is often dangerous because the wood quality is a bit random and there can be issues.

Otherwise, they are neat items. Usually black lacquer with something like a mon in gold or other simple decoration. I prefer sword boxes because they are often older, have descriptions, some are high class lacquer.
