Tachi Koshirae for Samurai Sword (Koshirae-11)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0The golden family crest pattern is depicted on this Tsuba. This crest is called the Aoi-Domoe \/ Mitsuba-Aoi-no Mon (\u8475\u5df4\/\u4e09\u3064\u8449\u8475\u306e\u7d0b). It is a plant pattern in which each stem branches and has characteristic heart-shaped leaves. Today, it is known as the family crest of the Tokugawa Shogunate family led by Tokugawa Ieyasu (\u5fb3\u5ddd \u5bb6\u5eb7, 1543-1616), a famous military commander of the Warring States period. This plant pattern has also been used for the crest of the Kamo shrine in Kyoto prefecture. As mentioned above, the famous Shogunate family, the Tokugawa family, had their family crest with three leaves of Aoi due to their relationship with the Kamo shrine. As its leaves have a habit of always facing the sun, and the word \u201cAoi\u201d is taken as \u201cAogu (\u4ef0\u3050, looking up)\u201d for the sun, people thought the Aoi pattern would bring good fortune.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Also, if you focus on the four corners, you will find a heart-mark hole at each corner. On this Tsuba, you could find eight heart marks in total on each side. This heart mark-shaped design is the Inome (\u732a\u306e\u76ee, boar\u2019s eyes) pattern. It has been used since ancient times. Some people believed the Inome pattern would bring good luck and protect people from evil spirits or fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0As with other metal fittings, the harmony of metal black and gold colors gives an elegant impression.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u3010Scabbard\u3011<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Nashiji Nuri (\u68a8\u5b50\u5730\u5857) technique decorates this scabbard. It is a kind of Makie (\u8494\u7d75) method. This surface treatment method creates a rough texture by creating fine unevenness on the surface of the metal. They also come in varying degrees of gloss, including glossy, semi-gloss, and matte. According to a theory, it was invented in the Kamakura (\u938c\u5009) period (1185-1333), and in the Edo period, various techniques were devised to color the products.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0About the design, the Aoi-Domoe \/ Mitsuba-Aoi-no Mon (\u8475\u5df4\/\u4e09\u3064\u8449\u8475\u306e\u7d0b), the family crest of the Tokugawa Shogunate family, is painted on this scabbard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Seme Kanamono (\u8cac\u91d1\u7269, a metal fitting attached to the middle of the scabbard to protect the scabbard), the Ishiduki Kanamono (\u77f3\u7a81\u91d1\u7269, a metal fitting attached to the end of the scabbard), these metal parts are also decorated with this crest design. The Taikogane (\u592a\u9f13\u91d1) is a circle-shaped metal fitting attached to the middle of the Taikogawa (\u592a\u9f13\u9769). The Taikogawa is made from leather and has a role in fixing the Tachio (\u592a\u5200\u7dd2, Sageo for the Tachi Koshirae). This Taikogane also has the same crest design.<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u3010Handle\u3011<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0The handle is covered with elegant light brown cloths with golden embroideries of some plants and the brown thread includes the handle with Hishi-Maki technique, a kind of Tsukamaki method.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u3010Pommel\u3011<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0The family crest of the Tokugawa Shogunate family, called the Aoi-Domoe \/ Mitsuba-Aoi-no Mon (\u8475\u5df4\/\u4e09\u3064\u8449\u8475\u306e\u7d0b), are designed on the pommel.\u00a0<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

\u3010Hilt Decor\u3011<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0Three family crests are arranged side by side. While we cannot see its entire shape because of the Tsukamaki thread, the Aoi-Domoe \/ Mitsuba-Aoi-no Mon (\u8475\u5df4\/\u4e09\u3064\u8449\u8475\u306e\u7d0b) is used here, the same as other metal fittings. We could also feel the consistent commitment of the client here.<\/span>
