Antique Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Hoki no Kami Fujiwara (Hirotaka) with NBTHK Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade was signed by Hoki no Kami Fujiwara Hirotaka (伯耆守藤原汎隆), who was active during the early Edo period (mid late 17th century). Hirotaka is known as one of the prominent figures among those who belonged to Echizen Shimosaka school. He was an apprentice of Kanetane (兼植), one of the most famous swordsmiths in Echizen province. While the signature of Hirotaka (汎隆)was cut due to Suriage, NBTHK judged it as a work of Hirotaka, based on the characteristic of the blade. He received the honorable title of Hoki no Kami (伯耆守), which was only given to prestigious swordsmiths. Hirotaka is also known for forging very sharp swords, which made him and his work classified as Wazamono Toko (業物刀工). Echizen Province was prosperous during the Edo period, being ruled by the Echizen Matsudaira clan, a direct retainer of the Tokugawa clan who ruled the Edo government. Many skilled swordsmiths moved to Echizen from different regions because of high demand among Samurai who lived there. Among them, a lot of renowned swordsmiths were originally from the Mino province (today’s Gifu prefecture), such as Hirotaka’s master, Kanetane. They are called Echizen Seki swordsmiths. The MINO swordsmiths style, also known as MINODEN, basically has the TOGARI (Pointed shapes protruding from the Hamon) in a classic straight tempering line and random wavy pattern. MINO DEN had its origin from YAMATO DEN in the late Kamakura period (1280-1330). It flourished in the Muromachi period (1333-1573) and continued until the Edo period (1603-1868). This blade has some characteristics of the Mino DEN style. *Wazamono is a classification of Japanese swords and swordsmiths used in Japan to identify historic blades of exceptional quality in the book written by Kaiho Kenjaku (懐宝剣尺) in 1797. This blade is appraised as a Hozon Token (保存刀剣) issued by NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai:日本美術刀剣保存協会). This authentication paper was only given to authentic Japanese swords, especially well preserved and high quality with artistic value. *Please keep in mind that there are a few Kitae Kizu and black rust on this blade. If you like to know the detailed condition, please feel free to contact us. 【Blade】 Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa) : 69.6 cm (27.4 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 1.3 cm (0.51 inches) Hamon : The crystalline structure which forms along the cutting edge of a blade as a result of the hardening process Jimon(Jihada) : visible steel surface pattern created by folding and hammering during forging process Kissaki : Kissaki is the tip of the Japanese sword. Nakago : Nakago is the tang of the Japanese sword. Japanese swordsmiths left the black rust on the tang because it prevents red rust while the tang is in its handle. And the discoloration of the tang was created over time, and it is a great indicator for a Japanese sword specialist to estimate when the sword was forged. Koshirae : Koshirae is the mounting of the Japanese sword. There are several parts that consist of Koshirae such as Saya (Scabbard), Tsuka (Handle), Tsuba (Handguard). Fuchi-Kashira : A pair of matching sword fittings that cover the upper and bottom parts of its sword hilt. Tsuka and Menuki : Tsuka is the handle of the Japanese sword and Menuki is its decoration.
