The sophisticated technology of the Japanese sword is legendary, but its artistry is not limited to the steel blade. The mountings used to protect swords and those who use them are often elegant works of art in their own right. This exhibition showcases some of Japan's most renowned sword mountings together with outstanding examples of decorative metal sword fittings.
