A little more inforamtion.

It has suguha (straight temperline) with Ara-nie majiri. The hada (grain structure) is Muji (pearl skin) with ko-itame. The sori is curve at the waist level like Koto style. The boshi is Ko-Maru (small turn around).

The paperwork shows this is not a Tokubetsu hozon, but a Kanteisho Hozon. It is also a bit earlier than 1861. Somewhere between 1848 and 1854.

Here is the origami for your consideration.

Here are some of the pictures of my paperwork.
