Very nice! I love the colors of the silk you use - they're always so vibrant and beautiful.
I also like the subtle touch of purple on the fuchi. Is that your work, or did the katana come with it?

That is some brilliant blue silk. Are you lacquering silk or do you leave it as is?

Thank you, alientude the bit of purple is actually a coper plating showing through the patina where the owner has rubbed it off through use. before plating or patina is done on some metals, they plate them in copper first.
