Description: | Shibuichi, nade maru gata, maru mimi tsuba. The nakago ana has both copper sekigane and tagane ato. The relief design is in copper, shakudo and gold and features peonies and a Ho Ho bird or phoenix. Style is very much like those used for court dress and made by the Goto school. The size suggests it was made for a wakizashi or kamishimozashi.
