Itomaki no tachi ( literally means “silk wrapped great sword). It is a type of Japanese slung sword, tachi, that was worn mainly ceremoniously.
It differs from the regular tachi in that the upper part of the scabbard is also wrapped with silk ribbon, just like the hilt. The scabbard wrapping is called watari-maki  or saya-maki , and so the style of tachi is also sometimes called sayamaki no tachi  or “scabbard wrapped .

This kind of koshirae often holds precious swords that are centuries older than the mountings. 13th-16th century swords by Bizen or Soshū masters are often seen.
These formal itomaki no tachi were mainly executed with fittings in black shakudō and with family crests (mon) in gold, often done by the Goto family of sword fitting makers who worked directly for the Tokugawa shogunate.
This is a wonderful koshirae in mint condition just stunning.
