Rattan pattern Fuchi & Kashira

Sometimes it's not that hard to give your katana a more personal look & feel. By changing the fuchi & kashira of your katana (and perhaps the color of ito and rayskin) you can end up with a whole other look.

  • good finish
  • unique design
  • very detailed & clear

Bamboo Themed Fuchi kashira

The fuchi and kashira are functional and vital items for the handle of the sword as well adding beauty.


The fuchi is the metal collar with a shaped ana (hole) for the nakago to fit in. Helps prevent the handle from splitting and helps thwart the effects of wear and tear.

The kashira is known in the west as a pommel cap. This metal cap fits on the butt of the tsuka and like the fuchi, helps prevent splitting. The kashira was often pierced with shitodome (cord holes), and the tsuka ito was knotted and passed through to the other side of the tsuka, then again in a terminating knot.
