Thank you for viewing. This is an unsigned fuchi-kashira (sword hilt collar and butt cap) featuring autumn grasses and a grasshopper on a shakudo nanako ground. The autumn grasses, such as hagi (bush clover), susuki (Japanese pampas grass), and kikyo (bellflower), symbolize the changing seasons and were favored by samurai as a design. The grasshopper leaping in the grass is also associated with rice cultivation and abundance, carrying the meaning of vitality and a wish for a good harvest. The delicate nanako ground, created by intricate chisel work, shimmers uniquely when it catches the light, enhancing the carvings of the autumn grasses and grasshopper. The seasonal scenery engraved on this small fuchi-kashira is a testament to the aesthetic sense of the Edo period and the skills of the artisans, making it a unique piece. Recommended for those who appreciate antiques and historical items, as well as those who love the designs of nature and the four seasons. It is a valuable item for appreciation and collection.
