Akodo's Eye

Akodo's Eye was a tessen given to a Lion commander whose daimyo was formally recognizing his first true victory in battle. The fan was emblazoned with the mon of the Akodo family, and then with the samurai's personal chop. These war fans were of exquisite design, made with delicate sandalwood and thick parchment, with several holy kanji inlayed on the fan's spine.
