Start Buying from JapanA Yin-Yang motif sets this pair of screw-style menuki apart, turning a functional sword fitting into a small design statement. Made from brass, the two pegs work as threaded mekugi, securing the hilt assembly on a tanto mounting while doubling as decorative accents.
One peg wears an antique brass finish, the other a sleek nickel plating, so the matched set plays the dark and light halves of the Yin-Yang motif against each other. Both pieces are brand new, sold together as a two-piece set.
In traditional Japanese sword mountings, menuki and mekugi aren't just ornamental. They hold the hilt firmly in place, making pieces like this a rare chance to own hardware that's as functional as it is fine.
Set of two brass threaded menuki pins for Japanese sword fittings, including tantō. Includes one antiqued brass-finish piece and one nickel-plated piece.
