ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Comes with kimono or cotton bag. Comes with certificate of supein Nihonto. Comes with prefecture certificate.
Beautiful antique koshirae long sword from the Azuchi momoyama period or early edo period in great condition. The Koshirae is made in iron with gold inlay. The iron tsuba has a cross shape. Traditionally Christian samurai hid symbols such as crosses on their armor or weapons as Christianity was persecuted by law, so it is possible that this tsuba reflects the religious beliefs of the samurai. The blade is in a fantastic condition, it is signed in the nakago “sukesada” one of the most important schools of the sengoku period and early edo, with very important forgers in its history. The school was well known for making swords of great quality and cut. The clear hamon and the spectacular jihada full of details attest to that. The polishing is preserved in almost excellent condition.
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.
