"保存刀装具鑑定書" (issued on 23rd April Heisei 8(1996))
Material : Iron
Shape : tate-maru shape
Hole : -
Technique : suki-sage ke-bori engraving, ji-sukashi open wrok, dew inlay, kaku-mimi koniku

Feature :   This is an eye-catching mount with a poem from the Kokin Waka Shu* engraved in kuzushiji characters on the front seppada. When we tried to read the characters one by one, we could not find the character for "fu", which should be "fune". When you move your eyes from the characters to the design, the stem chest forms the shape of a boat and the wisteria flowers are moving in the midst of the blooming season. The character for "fu", which was deliberately not engraved, is connected to the shape and evokes a richer meaning, such as "longevity of military fortune" (= immortality → wisteria).

Originally, metal fittings made as pair of fuchi-gashira.
However, kashiras have been taken apart, so that they remain as hanare-buchi, fushis only. They can be used for koshirae making, using tsuno for kashira. They can be appreciated as they are.

KUWAHARA Yôjirô wrote a essay titled On fuchigashira, a pair and apart "縁頭の取り合せ物と離れ物" in Shôwa 14(1939). He mentioned that there were cases just making fuchi only, using tsuno for kashira in order to concentrate the expence. So that fuchi become elaborate and beautiful work. He pointed that some separated items "離れ物" should be valued highly.
