KATCHUSHI

"The bright quality of this symetrical group of snowflakes and stars is not typical of katchushi guards. Although the plate has an old look, the intelligent and skillful nature of the open work suggests that this is not among the earliest guards. In all likelihood, it belongs to the middle or late Muromachi period. The design is excellent and carefully worked out." (Long)
