Tsuka with Waves, Horse, and Dragon
(Japanese Military Armor)
Two menuki are tied onto the tsuka with silk cord. One menuki shows a rider in Chinese style dress on a gold dragon. On the opposite side, the menuki depicts a horse and rider. The waves on the kashira repeat the motif on the matching fuchi and kozuka. This is part of a mounted set.
