Edo was the sword’s age of connoisseurship: the Hon’ami appraisers, the shogunal register of famous blades of 1719, and a thriving literature turned the sword into an object of study even as it ceased to be drawn in war.
This katana is signed by Settsuju Yoshikuni and dates to the early Edo period. The blade is crafted in the shinogi-zukuri style with a hon-zukuri tsukuri and a komaru ni kaeru boshi. The hamon is a beautiful gunome tsuranaru midareba, demonstrating the exceptional craftsmanship of the period.
