This listing is for a kinko kodzuka, the small decorated handle that rides in the side pocket of a Japanese sword scabbard, offered used under SKU MGJ580. The ground is shakudo worked in nanako, and the main subject is a group of horses raised in high relief, also in shakudo, picked out with gold and silver accents. It carries a Goto Mitsu signature finished with a kao.

Condition is reported plainly: the nanako texture shows some wear, and the gold along the edges and on the reverse has rubbed from years of sliding in and out of the kodzuka pocket. For a Montana collector of Japanese sword fittings, that wear is part of the record rather than something to hide. It suits a buyer assembling a koshirae who wants a signed piece, or one who collects single fittings for display. It is sold as the fitting alone; no blade or scabbard is described in the listing.
