The frame of a Japanese wakizashi type sword. It does not have a metal blade, but a wooden frame called a tsunagi. The frame comes with a Tokubetsu Kicho certificate issued by NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai). The certificate covers the sword's hilt and fuchikashira, the fittings located at the bottom and top of the handle. According to the information on the certificate, the hilt and fuchikashira were made by the Hamano school, whose founder was Shozui Hamano (1696-1769). The yoke and fuchikashira were made of shakudō, an alloy of copper and gold, and depict seedpods in flight. Menuki made of shakudō depict roosters, which in Japan were considered messengers of the gods and a symbol of good luck and prosperity.
The braid on the handle is made of silk. Also included are two seppas made of copper and decorated with gold foil. Wooden scabbard covered with lacquered stingray leather. The scabbard features a kozuka made of shakudō, gilded and decorated with a rooster motif.
