| Horses have been indispensable animals since ancient times, deeply connected to humans through warfare, farming, transportation, travel, and ceremonies. Many horse motifs adorn samurai koshirae, depicted on sword fittings. This set of menuki is a dynamic wild horse motif. The mane and tail are color-coded in gold and silver on the omote and ura menuki, enhancing its design appeal. |
