Signed examples by Onizuka Yoshikuni are comparatively uncommon.The blade is accompanied byolder NBTHK Tokubetsu Kichō papers (Kōshu / Class A), issued in1976, confirming the authenticity of the signature and recognizing the sword as an especially precious example under the former NBTHK appraisal system, which predates the modern Hozon structure.MeasurementsNagasa:Just under 8 sun 7 bu(approx. 26.3 cm / 10.4 inches)KoshiraeThe tantō is mounted in an attractiveaikuchi-style koshirae. Thetsukais finished in finely carved bamboo-style wood (take-zaiku), showing good age patina and careful workmanship. The fittings are minimal and appropriate to the aikuchi form, with small decorative menuki adding subtle detail without overpowering the mounts.Thesayais finished in a dark brown lacquer with fine speckling, giving it a refined and understated appearance. The lacquer shows honest age and light wear consistent with period use but remains in very good overall condition. The koshirae is well balanced and complements the blade nicely.SummaryA signed and papered Kyūshū tantō byOnizuka Yoshikuni, offered complete with well-preserved aikuchi koshirae.
