Tsuba, Fuchi-Kashira, and Seppa with a Tortoise Shell Motif in Shakudo

The tsuba features elegant curves and surfaces, showcasing the craftsmanship of Edo period tsuba makers.

The tortoise shell was highly valued by samurai as a strong shield for protection against external threats, making it a popular motif for fittings.

Tsuba Dimensions: Approximately 75mm (height) x 65mm (width) x 3mm (thickness)

Fuchi: Plain shakudo
Kashira: Decorated with a Namban ship using silver inlay.
Fuchi Dimensions: Approximately 38mm (height) x 22mm (width) x 13mm (height)

There are scuffs due to age and long-term use.

These would look impressive when fitted to a wakizashi koshirae.
