Beautiful sword in elegant and beautiful koshirae signed Yamashito Daijo Fujiwara Kunikane, a great and reputed 17th century smith with a high value in the Toko Taikan. The koshirae has a nice color combination with a red saya finished with a copper kojiri. The tsuba is a great piece of craftsmanship with pheasant motifs among vegetation. The blade is in very good condition despite its centuries, with a nice hamon that stands out visibly and only some signs of old rust in the area of the kissaki.

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.
