Antique Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Kaneyasu with NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This Katana is forged by the 2nd generation Mutsu no Kami Kaneyasu (二代 陸奥守包保, Nidai Mutsu no Kami Kaneyasu). He was originally from Yamato province (大和国, Yamato no Kuni) and is said to have descended from the Tegai school (手掻派, Tegai-ha). Later, he moved to Osaka in Settsu province (摂津国大坂, Settsu no Kuni Ōsaka), where he became one of the representative smiths of the Osaka Shintō tradition (大阪新刀, Ōsaka Shintō), alongside masters such as Kawachi no Kami Kunisuke (河内守国助, Kawachi no Kami Kunisuke) and Ichigetsushi Tadatsuna (一竿子忠綱, Ichigetsushi Tadatsuna). Kaneyasu is famously called “Left Mutsu” (左陸奥, Hidari Mutsu) because he inscribed his signature (銘, Mei) in mirror-reversed characters, a style derived from his left-handedness. Not only his signature but even the file marks (yasurime, 鑢目, Yasurime) were carved in reverse. His dated works range from Kan’ei 6 (寛永六年, Kan’ei 6, 1629) to Shōō 2 (承応二年, Shōō 2, 1653). His son, the 3rd generation Kaneyasu (三代 包保, Sandai Kaneyasu), inscribed his name in the normal way, for which he is called “Right Mutsu” (右陸奥, Migi Mutsu). Together, father and son were highly regarded smiths of the Osaka Shintō school, with the 2nd generation considered an upper-class smith (上作刀工, Jo-saku Toko) for his refined workmanship. Osaka Shinto The blades forged by Kaneyasu are categorized as Osaka Shinto. Shinto is Japanese Sword terminology that refers to the swords forged during 1596-1781. The blades made in the Osaka area during this period are called Osaka Shinto. There are many famous swordsmiths in this Osaka Shinto era. After Hideyoshi Toyotomi built Osaka castle, Osaka city flourished as a castle town and became the business center. Many swordsmiths moved to Osaka to look for better opportunities. They not only forged swords for those Samurai who lived in Osaka but also for feudal lords nationwide. One of the most notable characteristics of Osaka Shinto is its beauty in Jigane. Jigane is a visible steel surface pattern created by folding and hammering during the forging process), which made it possible by the location of Osaka. Osaka had close access to the Tamahagane(special carbon steel to make Japanese swords) production sites. The swordsmiths residing in Osaka were able to get high-quality carbon steel from these sites. It is appraised as a Tokubetsu Hozon Token (特別保存刀剣) 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. 【Blade 】 Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa) : 71.5 cm( 28.1 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 1.9 c m(0.74 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 hilt 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. The theme of this Fuchi-Kashira is Karajishi (唐獅子, lion) and waves. The Shishi (獅子) means a lion in Japanese, and the Karajishi is a lion brought from the continent to Japan in the Toh period (唐, Tang dynasty, 618-907). The Karajishi typically has curly hair for its head, neck, body, and tail, as seen on this work. In Buddhism, the Karajishi is regarded as a symbol of wisdom, and Monju Bo
