Antique Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Tango no Kami Naomichi with Tokubetsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 This blade was signed by Tango no Kami Naomichi (丹後守直道). Naomichi was the first maker’s name used by the first-gen Tango no Kami Kanemichi, a renowned swordsmith in Settsu province (Today’s Osaka) during early Edo period ( 1624-1661 ). His birth name was Mishina Yoshiheibei (三品吉兵衛). Chrysanthemum emblem is also inscribed on the back of the signature. Tango no Kami Naomichi (丹後守直道) was the second son of the first-gen Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi(丹波守吉道). Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi belonged to Kyoto Mishina school. Mishina school’s founder was originally from Mino province, exclusively forging blades for Shingen Takeda, a famous feudal lord. Later on, he moved to Kyoto by bringing his four sons and founded his school in Kyoto. Yoshimichi was one of his sons. The first-gen Yoshimichi was known as Kyoto Gokaji(京都五鍛冶), five prestigious swordsmiths forging in Kyoto in the early Edo period. In his early career, Namichi resided in Kyoto learning sword-forging technique from his father. And, he changed his maker’s name to Kanemichi to respect his grandfather. When he received the title of Tango no Kami in the second year of Kanei (1625), he moved to Osaka. He founded Osaka Mishina school and flourished for generations d uring the Edo period. Tango no Kami was an official title given by the emperor for his excellent craftsmanship. Naomichi was also allowed to inscribe a chrysanthemum emblem, which is the symbol of the Japanese emperor. His sword forging technique was so excellent that the emperor permitted him to use this emblem, which was honorable for any swordsmith. The blades forged by Naomichi (Kanemichi) 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. This blade 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) : 70.6 cm(27.8 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 1.96 cm(0.77 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.
