I am afraid I do not know anything about this maker. Made of polished ground shibuichi with gold and shakudo iroe. Decorated with Hotei with children. Made in late edo period. Size: Fuchi: 37 mm x 22 mm x 15 mm Kashira: 31 mm x 17 mm In custom made kiri box.

alloy of copper and silver

Good quality jabara maki but due to old age some threads are misplaced and it is a bit dirty

decorated with wild geese under the moon

Antique wakizashi tsuka

Kozuka signed "Kawahosai" which is one of the names used by Kawarabayashi Hideoki

Insides are filled and whole tsuba is lacquered

Inside we will find everything we might look for in a book like that
