Antique Japanese Sword Katana attributed to Kashu Ietsugu with NBTHK Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade is attributed to Kashu Ietsugu (加州家次), who belonged to Fujishima (藤島), which is a prestigious school, especially flourishing during the Muromachi period (late 14th- late 16th century) in Kaga province (Today’s Ishikawa prefecture). Ietsugu was especially active during the O-Ei era (1394-1428: Early Muromachi period). The school was founded by the first-gen Fujishima Tomoshige during the early Nanbokucho period. This maker’s name lasted several generations, from the early Nanboku period to the end of the Edo period (Early 14th-Late 19th century). It is said that the first-gen Tomoshige was an apprentice of Rai Kunitoshi, one of the most famous swordsmiths in Yamashiro province (Today’s Kyoto) during the late Kamakura-early Nanbokucho period. The first-gen Tomoshige originally lived in Fushima village in Echizen province (today’s Fukui prefecture). And later on, he moved to Kaga domain and founded the school. This blade is appraised as a Hozon Touken (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, well preserved and high quality with artistic value. *Please keep in mind that there are a few Kitae Kizu (forging lines) and some rust spots on this blade. If you would like to see the detailed condition, please feel free to contact us. 【Blade】 Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa) : 69.7 cm (27.4 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 2.0 cm (0.78 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. Habaki : Habaki is the equipment to make the blade not touch its scabbard inside. It prevents the blade from getting rusty and chipped. Authentication Paper : NBTHK Hozon Certificate for the blade (No.3032117) NBTHK , also known as Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai (the Society for the Preservation of the Japan Art Sword), is one of the oldest Japanese sword appraising organizations in modern-day Japan. They authenticated the blade on August 25th in the 5th year of Reiwa (2023). They appraised it as Hozon Touken, the blade worth preserving for Japanese society. The purchaser will receive this original certificate as well. We can also translate what is written into English and make a PDF file for your record if you request. Registration Number : Tokyo 140264 The Board of Education in Tokyo issued a registration paper for this sword. It is called Jyu Hou Token Rui Torokusho (銃砲刀剣類登録証). Bunkacho (The Agency for Cultural Affairs) acknowledges a Japanese sword with this paper as a work of art. The sword needs to be traditionally hand-forged and made of Tamahagane carbon steel to be registered in the system. With this paper, its owner in Japan can legally own an authentic Japanese sword. Based on this registration number, we will apply for its export permit. This paper will need to be returned to the board of education when the sword is being shipped abroad, but you can receive a copy of it.
