Polished shakudo fuchikashira decorated with Raijin, god of thunder. This is probably one of the most well know gods of Japan. We can see his depictions in shrines, paintings folding screens etc. Tetsugendo School is most famous from its depiction of Fujin and Raijin on sword fittings.
Made of shakudo with inlaid metals and gold iroe. This fuchikashira has not been fully cleaned so some inlaid metals are not fully visible.
Made in late edo period.
