This is an outstanding example of Higo  work. Tsuba is a wave motif in brass. Fuchikashira, kojiri, kaeritsuno uragawara are in matching wave motif and  brass. Menuki are feather brush motif of silver and gold. The kozuka is quite interesting as it is of shakudo and copper itame pattern with a gardening  hatchet.  The brown peony   motif lacquered saya shows an appearance of subdued simple strength. Some lacquer restoration. The tsuka is a good quality white same with leather wrap. Nice old sageo

Late Edo. All of the matching wave kodogu and tsuba are judged to be made by Higo Kinko Nishigaki ha.
