ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Comes with kimono or cotton bag. Comes with certificate of supein Nihonto. Includes Torokusho exportation permit. Includes NBTHK Hozon certificate.
Spectacular Long tanto attributed to “Echizen Shimosaka” with horimono in a deluxe koshirae with NBTHK Hozon certificate. Also includes shirasaya and sunagi blade. This piece has it all. A great antique blade with beautiful Hada veining and a hamon full of nuances, without a blemish. A magnificent horimono, somewhat worn by the polishing that has been done over the centuries of a Fudo, a mythical protective character and a bonji or sacred word in addition to a groove or bohi. The blade belongs to the early Edo period and has been passed from generation to generation for centuries sheathed in a precious koshirae of the highest quality, with pieces of gold and silver on shakudo (gold and copper alloy) in an exquisite combination. It also includes a luxurious kozuka with signed blade, inlaid with gold and silver on shakudo. The tanto was purchased along with an elegant plate helmet with its original box and NBTHK certificate in a private collection from a major dealer in Japan that was buyed to antique museum.
An Authentic nihonto japanese sword, difficult to find in Europe, 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.
