Tsuka with Dragons, Clouds, and Mt. Fuji
(Japanese Military Armor)
The kashira on the end depicts a dragon amongst clouds with gold highlights. One of the menuki is in the shape of a gold dragon flying through shakudo clouds. The other depicts Mt. Fuji. The pairing of a dragon and Mt. Fuji is an emblem of success. This is part of a mounted set.
