刀装具
-Tosogu-

Traditional japanese metalwork

This site is dedicated to the presentation and study of fine japanese metalworks - especially sword fittings (tosogu). The goal is to offer high quality images of pieces with informative descriptions in order to replace in-hand study of pieces as good as possible.

If you have questions to any of the displayed items, comments, or want further images of details, feel free to contact me below or directly via japanantiquemail@gmail.com.
