Novice questions on SAYAJIRI, SEMEGANE, and FUCHI

[bullpuppy]

Does anyone have a good source for these parts? I am picking out parts for a couple saya. Are FUCHI used for both the Tsuka and Saya?

Tim,

 

Hard to find originals in one place unless you are maybe at one of the larger shows or dealers. Otherwise you will probably find them one at a time on the auction sites, and hard to match a set.

For modern pieces, try Fred Lohman who has sets and pieces. http://www.Japanese-swords.com/

Otherwise try the various sword dealer links at http://www.nihontokanjipages.com/links.html

 

The scabbard mouth does not use a fuchi. It is called a koiguchi and while it may match the other fittings, is not the same as a fuchi.

I found a person on ebay that is selling the horn saya parts.
