At 10:37 there is a tachi with a very unusual hilt. I recently say Kurosawa's Ran, and noticed hilts like this in the film for the highest ranking characters. Can anyone provide me with the search terms to learn about this form of hilt?

Thank you for your comment! The 拵 you're referring to is called '金地青貝上り藤紋鞘毛抜形銀太刀拵' Words for search would be : 毛抜形太刀 柄地板 毛抜形 The "毛抜形太刀拵 / kenuki-gata tachi-koshirae" is a mount (or style of mounting) for swords that was popular among the aristocracy during the middle of the Heian period. It features a handle with a board that has a design resembling a "kenuki" (a tool used for plucking hair) inserted into it. Hope it helps :)

While replicating the exact accessories of swords from the past may be challenging, I believe that modern craftsmen can honor the legacy of these pieces by infusing them with the same level of meticulous craftsmanship. By applying traditional techniques and working with authentic materials, they can create high-quality 刀装具 that not only reflect the functionality and beauty of the past but also showcase the skill and dedication of contemporary artisans…

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’ve learned a lot about maintaining Japanese swords from experts, and it’s always a rewarding experience to share that knowledge.
