Description

JAPAN - Edo period (1603–1868).
Copper KOGAI with shakudo patina, decorated with a branch of flowering plum against a nanako background; the flowers and buds are highlighted with gold and silver.
Very good condition.
Sold with its paulownia presentation box (kiribako) and its NBTHK Hozon Tosogu certificate. NBTHK, also known as Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai (the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords), is one of the oldest organizations dedicated to the appraisal of Japanese swords in modern Japan.
Dimensions: 20.9 x 0.8 x 0.3 cm.
Notes: The flowering plum branch held an important place in the samurai’s imagination. Blooming at the end of winter, often while the cold still lingers, it symbolized resilience, courage, and the ability to overcome adversity. Its delicate flowers, appearing before those of other trees, also evoked the warrior’s determination and nobility of spirit in the face of trials. For the samurai, the flowering plum tree thus represented elegance combined with inner strength, serving as a reminder that a true warrior must cultivate virtue and discipline as much as martial skills.
