The scabbard is not painted with chemical paints, but is painted with real lacquer, giving it a solid feel. Although there are some areas that have been repainted, it is a sturdy scabbard.

This is a Higo sword fitting that uses a masterpiece metal fitting, and the fittings alone are expensive. The skills of sword fitting craftsmen have declined significantly in recent years, and even when an original sword fitting is requested, many are made by reusing old scabbards, old handles, or imitation sword scabbards and handles. You can see this by undoing the handle threads or looking at the inside of the handle and scabbard. Therefore, many sword fittings have poor balance between the scabbard and handle, and some are distorted. The scabbard is often painted with lacquer, and dry lacquering with real lacquer like this sword fitting is becoming less common. How about adding this to your favorite sword fitting? Adjust the scabbard and handle interior before use. It is also recommended for those who want it as an interior decoration.
