This listing from Ginza Choshuya features a katana signed Naminohira Yasuhiro, forged during the mid-Edo period (around Kan'en era) in Satsuma province. It is described as a long blade exceeding 2 shaku 4 sun, with a modest sori and a small kissaki, giving it a slender yet robust appearance with a strong shinogi-suji. The prominent vine-like nie-suji is characteristic of Satsuma swords.

The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
Under the Tokugawa peace the daishō became a regulated uniform, and demand gathered in the castle towns, above all Edo itself. The craft split two ways: brilliant display work for connoisseurs, and tested blades whose cutting results were sometimes inlaid in gold.
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
If, due to our fault, the item differs significantly from its proper condition, the item may be returned. Cooling-off is within one week of the item's arrival.
