Excellent set of Kogai and Kozuka by Kikuchi Jokatsu. Top student for Inagawa Naokatsu. His skill is very apparent by studying this piece. The high grade shakudo nanako background is of the highest quality. The fine workmanship on the butterflies is immaculate. All in all a top quality set from the 1700’s. Most likely custom ordered as he often did katakiribori for his normal works. Shakudo nanako pieces are of a higher quality, and are reserved for top clientele. Gold foiled sides and backs complete the set well. Fitted in a custom box.

Very nice set of menuki and a kozuka with the design of Kaki or what is known as Persimmons.

Kaki are well represented n many fittings as a good fortune theme. The Goto School used this subject often as nice pieces made very good gifts for celebrations. The menuki are well made using top grade shakudo with gold uttori, The kozuka is also well made and addition to the gold and shakudo used, red copper is also implemented in the design. All in all a very nice set of fittings that can be uses for a Tanto or Wakizashi. They are nice enough to be enjoyed on their own as a collector item.
