Gilded Shishi & Silvered Botan Koshirae Set

This Koshirae set embodies the classic Japanese theme of *Shishi & Botan* (The Lion and The Peony) with a dramatic, high-contrast execution. The *Sukashi* (openwork) Tsuba is the centerpiece, featuring a large, powerful gold-gilded *Shishi* (Lion) perched above a field of intricate, silver-gilded and blackened *Botan* (Peony) blossoms. This "King of Beasts, King of Flowers" motif is continued on the Fuchi, Kashira, and gilded Menuki, all set against a deep, textured brass base.

Why Choose This Koshirae?

• Classic *Shishi & Botan* Theme: A revered samurai motif symbolizing the perfect union of power (Shishi) and noble beauty (Botan).
• Striking Dual-Tone Finish: The high-contrast of the brilliant gilded lion against the silvered and blackened flowers creates a stunning visual.
• Deeply Textured Base: The dark, finely textured brass base provides a perfect backdrop, making the dual-tone figures stand out.
