ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Comes with kimono or cotton bag. Comes with certificate of supein Nihonto. Comes with prefecture certificate.
Beautiful koshirae muromachi period sword in Higo style, with openwork iron tsuba with pine motifs and saya with worked style and top covered with samegawa (stingray skin). The blade is in a great condition with a clear hamon and a very good jihada with only a few scratches and superficial marks. The nakago is o’suriage so it probably lost the signature in the process. This type of cuts in the tang were made regularly during the Edo period to adapt older swords to the style of combat of the time, not so much in battlefields but in cities and confined environments, which made an excessively long sword a problem because it could get stuck with some element causing a fatal error to the samurai.
A very healthy blade with a superb polish on the blade, with only a few small details and superficial scratches that do not affect the quality and strength of the sword. You can clearly see the quality of the sword and the beautiful jihada and hamon produced by the tamahagane steel forging process that used different densities and folds to make Japanese swords, the best swords ever created.
An Authentic nihonto japanese sword, difficult to find in Europe or USA, without the consequent costs of importing from Japan or from Japanese sellers, which can increase the price of the sword by up to 30% and a months waiting for shipment and custom paperwork. A truly real nihonto to delight both new and experienced collectors.
All our swords are originals, imported from japan and Europe from the best dealers and collectors during many years of collection and passion.
