Japan, Meiji period (1868-1912)
Of muso-zutsu type, the dark-brown wood grain ground finely decorated with incision work as well as gold and silver takazogan to depict an oni being pelted with roasted soybeans during Setsubun, a pained and fearsome expression on his face. The rim lined in gilt metal and set with a cord attachment in the form of an eyelet.
LENGTH 24.5 cm (the pipe case) and 15.3 cm (the blade)
Condition: Very good condition with minor surface wear.
