Antique Japanese Sword Wakizashi Signed by Kashu Katsuie with NBTHK Tokubestsu Hozon Certificate 【Description】 Summary This blade was signed by Kashu Kanazawa Jyu Katsuie (加州金沢住勝家). Kashu is the name of the province located in today’s Ishikawa prefecture. And Kanazawa is the biggest city there. Kashu Kanawa Jyu means that Katsuie resided in this area when he forged this blade. The swordsmith’s name, “Katsuie” (勝家), lasted several generations from the middle of the Muromachi to the early Edo period (the 1450s-1650s). Based on the signature, we believe it was ordered by a person named Morihiro (盛広). The first-generation Katsuie was originally from Mino province (Today’s Gifu prefecture), famous for the sword-forging tradition called MINO-DEN(美濃伝). He and his apprentices moved to Kaga Koku (Today’s Ishikawa prefecture) in the middle of the Muromachi period(the 1450s). They founded a Darani(陀羅尼) school after being hired by the monks there. However, from the second generation, Katsuie served the famous feudal clan, Maeda family, and the generations of Katsuie forged blades for this clan. It was honorable for any swordsmith to serve a feudal clan exclusively. According to NBTHK, which appraised this blade, this blade was forged during the late Muromachi period based on its characteristics. That means it was made in the middle of Sengoku Jidai(Warring state period) when there was so much rivalry between warlords trying to gain political power nationwide. It would be nice to have a piece that survived through this period. Maeda Clan Maeda clan was originally a retainer of Oda family, who ruled Owari province. (today’s Nagoya area in Aichi prefecture) The first head of the Maeda clan was Toshie Maeda. He climbed the social ladder of Samurai society, and he became the feudal lord of Kaga Province(today’s Ishikawa prefecture). It is said that he had a vast rice fief that fed 100 million grown-up adults, which is called Hyakuman Goku. The Maeda clan was one of the most powerful lines in Samurai history. Toshie Maeda had a close tie with Oda Nobunaga and Hideyoshi Toyotomi. 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) : 35.9 cm ( 14.1 inches) Curvature(Sori) : 0.6 cm (0.23 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. This Fuchi Kashira has a simple look and has a stone-like rough surface. It has a practical finish by refraining from gorgeous decorations. As it does not have any decorations with gold or silver, you could enjoy copper’s metal color and texture directly. Tsuka and Menuki : Tsuka is the handle of the Japanese sword and Menuki is its decoration. You would find the figure of the Saru (猿, monkey) on each side of the handle. The upper Menuki’s monkey seems that it is holding something out, and another monkey is about to eat something with its mouth wide open. Generally speaking, as we know, monkeys belong to the same primates as us humans. So it is considered to be the closest animal to humans. Probably, it is why monkeys hav
