Type: Fuchi Material: Copper Period: Edo Mass: 13.6g
This fuchi depicts a stag beneath a flowering branch, rendered in low relief on a background of overlapping scale-like circular punches. The combination of deer and floral elements symbolizes longevity, harmony with nature, and seasonal renewal—recurring themes in Edo-period sword furniture.
The gilt coating is almost completely worn away, but subtle traces remain, hinting at the piece's original vibrance.
