Various Katanakake

[Curran]

Piers,

 

Thank you. My tastes have gotten simpler with age, though I sometimes go 180 and love something Tour de Force over the top.

 

The shape and line of this kake appeals to me. A family friend is a professional woodworker and made me 2 exceptional long tsuba kake out of hollywood.

Your sword kake might find itself recreated in smaller form and hollywood for a favorite toppei koshirae and its original tanto.

Good inspiration.

Perhaps it comes apart easily, but I haven't dared try.

Pull up the side panels at the same time (while holding the "feet" with your thubs), and everything falls into place - or, rather, apart .

Plain simple kake that does not distract from the koshirae. There are a lot of these older solid simple kake for sale in Japan, not to expensive either.

You must have eyes everywhere! I have been looking for reasonably priced basic katanakake like this, and havent been able to find one. Name your sources please. I will be eternally grateful. :D

 

I also like the non-standard sageo wrap!!!
