Kashira

The Kashira is an important component of a katana, serving as the end cap at the tsuba (handguard) end of the Japanese sword. Made from various materials such as wood, ivory or buffalo horn, it is often intricately designed and adds to the overall aesthetics of the katana. The Kashira is not only decorative but also plays a functional role in securing the cord that connects the tassel to the sword's handle.
