Shishi & Botan Koshirae Set | Gilded & Silvered Brass

This Koshirae set embodies the classic Japanese theme of *Shishi & Botan* (The Lion and The Peony). This powerful pairing represents the perfect balance of power (the Shishi, king of beasts) and noble beauty (the Botan, king of flowers). The Fuchi, Kashira, and Menuki feature these motifs in exquisite, dual-tone gold and silver gilding. This intricacy is perfectly balanced by the Tsuba, which features an elegant, minimalist *Sukashi* (openwork) design with a simple, polished gold-gilded rim against a deep black base.

Why Choose This Koshirae?

• Classic *Shishi & Botan* Theme: A revered samurai motif symbolizing the perfect union of power, courage, and noble elegance.
• Exquisite Dual-Tone Details: The Fuchi and Kashira feature intricate, three-dimensional flowers and lions with both gold and silver gilding.
• Elegant Contrast: The rich detail of the fittings is balanced by the minimalist, gilded-rim *Sukashi* Tsuba, creating a sophisticated look.
