The flowers have mostly worn away, but their remnants remain a striking visual contrast to the dark iron. The hitsu-ana for the kogai has been filled in with an inlay of solid shakudo, and remains beautiful and tightly fitted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1747\" data-start=\"1298\"\u003eThe surface shows moderate wear and several areas where the inlay has partially lifted or been lost, particularly along the upper rim and around the seppa-dai. The tsuba remains structurally sound, though there is some pitting and minor oxidation consistent with long-term storage. Despite these imperfections, the piece retains strong aesthetic integrity, with traces of gold providing a subtle but elegant contrast against the subdued iron ground.\u003cstrong data-end=\"2247\" data-start=\"2228\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moon Rabbit Blades and Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51463617904939,"sku":null,"price":399.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0957\/6677\/4059\/files\/TS-052_4_02e0464d-c216-45c6-aa05-33a31643f737.jpg?v=1763417912","url":"https:\/\/www.moonrabbitblades.com\/products\/ts-052","provider":"Moon Rabbit Blades and Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
