Antique Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Sukenaga(Sukenari Daimei) NBTHK Hozon Certificate 【Description】 According to the NBTHK certificate, this blade was signed by Sukenari(祐成) while its signature says Bizen Osafune Jyu Sukenaga(備前長船祐永). Sukenari signed on behalf of Sukenasga, which is called Daimei(代銘). Daimei is a regular act where an apprentice or a child of the swordsmith signed his master’s name with his master’s permission, being involved in a sword-forging. We believe Sukenari worked for Sukenaga, and his level of craftsmanship must have been closed to his master. According to historical records, Sukenari and Sukenaga were active in sword-forging at the end of the Edo period (Tenpo era: 1831-1845 ) in Bizen province. Sukenari also forged swords in Fukushima city in Hiroshima after being requested by a feudal family named Abe. About Sukenaga(His master) Bizen Osafune Jyu Sukenaga(備前長船住祐永) is one of the most famous swordsmiths in Bizen province at the end of the Edo period(Bakumatsu). Born as the second son of Yokoyama Sukehira, he belonged to the Yokoyama school in Bizen province(today’s Okayama prefecture). He eventually became the head of this school. He called himself the 56th-gen of Tomonari, a renowned swordsmith in the mid-late Heian period in Bizen province. He was allowed to inscribe a chrysanthemum emblem, which is the symbol of the Japanese emperor. His sword forging technique was so great that the emperor allowed him to use this emblem, which was quite honorable for any swordsmith. According to NBTHK, He trained many apprentices. Sukenari was either apprentice or brother of Sukenaga. About Bizen Osafune Sukenari’s ancestors dated back to Sukesada school, one of the most famous schools, and flourished for generations among Osafune schools(The head branch). There were various styles forged by the generations of Sukesada during the Muromachi-Edo period. There were about 60 swordsmiths who used Sukesada as his maker’s name in Samurai history. The swordsmiths in Bizen produced many swords during the Muromachi period as it was in the middle of the Sengoku period(Warring state period). The demand for swords increased among strong feudal lords. The high level of craftsmanship had been passed until the end of the Edo period, and Sukenari is a good example. This blade is appraised as a Hozon Token(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 with artistic value. 【 Blade】 Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa) : 67.5 c m( 26.6 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 2.2 cm( 0.87 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(Sabbard), Tsuka( Handle), Tsuba(Handguard). Fuchi-Kashira : A pair of matching sword fittings that cover the upper and bottom parts of its sword hilt. The Take (竹, bamboo) is also engraved mainly for Fuchi. And a kind of four-legged animal is designed for Kashira. Although some parts of its golden coating have already been peeled off, it seems a Tora (虎, tiger). There is a famous theme brought to Japan from the Continent; the combination of tiger and bamboo. It is called Take-Tora Mon (竹虎文) in Japanese. The tiger is a brave animal. According to a theory, people considered the tiger pattern would protect people from evil spirits. Therefore, its pattern has been treated as a talisman. The tiger design has al
