Antique Japanese Sword Katana Attributed to Den Rai Kunimitsu with NBTHK JUYO TOKEN Certificate 【Description】 This blade is attributed to Den Rai Kunimitsu, active during the late Kamakura- early Nanbokucho period (1326-1351). He belonged to Rai school, which was prosperous in Yamashiro province (Kyoto prefecture) during the mid-Kamakura-Nanbokucho period. Rai Kunimitsu was the second son of Rai Kunitoshi, and he was also known as Jiro Hyoueno Jo. Rai school was originally founded by Rai Kuniyuki and was taken over by Rai Kunitoshi, and then Kunimitsu became the head of the school in his career. Three of his signed works are designated national treasures of Japan, and 22 swords are classified as Important Cultural Property. Yamashiro province was famous for its sword making style called YAMASHIRO-DEN. YAMASHIRO-DEN’s origin dates back to the Heian period (794 A.D), when the capital city was moved from Nara to Kyoto. The swordsmiths in Yamashiro province initially prospered by forging swords for court nobles and imperial families. Later on, they also forged swords for feudal lords after Samurai military government took control of Japan. There are so many renowned swordsmiths from this region. It is said that the founder of YAMASHIRO-DEN was Sanjo Munechika. And there are seven prestigious schools in this region. One of them is Rai school, where Kunimitsu belonged. Rai school and Aawata school are the most prestigious ones among YAMASHIRO-DEN. One of the most characteristics of YAMASHIRO-DEN is its elegant design and beautiful Jigane. This blade represents strong trait of YAMASHIRO-DEN. This blade is appraised as a JUYO TOKEN (重要刀剣) 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, exceptionally well preserved and of high quality with artistic value. JUYO is one rank higher than Tokubetsu Hozon. To be eligible for a Juyo Token, it needs to be appraised as a Tokubetsu Hozon Token first. It is extremely rare for an antique Japanese sword to be appraised as JUYO TOKEN, and it is highly desirable among Japanese sword collectors. 【 Blade】 Cutting Edge Length (Nagasa) : 69.6 cm (27.4 inches) Curvature (Sori) : 1.8 cm (0.70 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. 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. Two people are engraved on this Fuchi Kashira. In addition, another person is designed on the Kojiri (鐺, the metal fitting that protects the tip of a scabbard) with the same type. We are unsure who they are. They appear to have continental clothing, hairstyles, and facial features. Especially the man who is designed on the Kojiri; he is a large man with a bearded face, wears military clothing and holds a long weapon in his hand. He looks dignified, making this Koshirae’s impressive atmosphere. Tsuka and Menuki : Tsuka is the handle of the Japanese sword and Menuki is its decoration. Three Koumoris (蝙蝠, bat) are the motifs of this Menuki. One of these bats is colored with golden paint on each Menuki. According to a theory, the continent largely influenced the introduction of bats as a pattern. This animal is a symbol of happiness and longevity. In the continent, it was popular as an auspicious pattern that brings good luc
