This is an original 1883 black and white heliogravure of Koshirae, or the decorative elements of a katana hilt. The long rectangular pieces are known as kozuka. These were the handles of small, often decorative utility knives known as the kogatana which were kept in the sheathe. The small oval pieces are known as kashira, or the butt cap of the hilt. Finally, the two stiletto type pieces are called kogai, and these were kep in the sheath or the pockets of a samurai and were used to keep their hair up and in the top-knot.
