It has become a tradition for my wife and I to gift swords from our collection as wedding presents to our neices and nephews. We will select a blade, usually in shirasaya, and ask the couple several questions related to their favorite colors, styles, and themes, then build a set of koshirae for the blade. For this gift we selected a late Edo period 27.5 inch katana, signed "Kane Uji". Below are a few pictures of the blade, and several quick snapshots of the mounts that I took before we gifted our nephew and his fiance with the sword... Let me know what you think.
