This intricate piece, called a kozuka, was once a handle for a small Japanese knife called a Kogatana. The back is inscribed with a poem of a rising sun that reads: "First sunrise of the year not even the (water?) is moving Nihonbashi (which is a location in Tokyo)" The kozuka also depicts a rising sun with birds in the background, which is viewed from the edge of a bridge rail with a Giboshi ornament decorated with ceremonial ribbons blowing in the wind. The Giboshi is a traditional dome shaped ornament of a bridge pillar and represents the "hoja". The hoja is a jewel that removes misfortune and bestows blessings on all that suffer. This piece is also signed on the signature plate by Koretoshi Iwamoto and is made from mixed metals including copper, gold, and silver. Dating back to the Edo period, this kozuka is full of history and is in excellent condition.   Dimensions: 3 3/4" (Length) x 1/2" (Width) 700-02879 12.1.17 LC C: KH BL: HBB PLEASE NOTE : We are a working jewelry store and gallery and, therefore, are not available to answer questions on weekends.
