This group consists of traditional Japanese sword mounting metal fittings, originally made to decorate and reinforce the tsuka (sword handle) and saya (scabbard). The set includes elements such as fuchi (hilt collar), kashira (pommel cap), and other decorative metal mounts used on the sword handle and scabbard. Crafted from metal, these fittings display aged surfaces and natural patina consistent with traditional handwork and long-term use. Beyond their functional purpose, such fittings were designed to express craftsmanship, balance, and aesthetic refinement. Today, these components are appreciated as collectible artifacts, suitable for display, study, or restoration projects related to Japanese swords.
