NihontoWatchBETAWeight (toshin only): 763g It has arrived—a famous sword exuding the atmosphere of the Sengoku period. In the 5th year of Keicho (1600) (426 years ago), following the victory of the Eastern Army at the Battle of Sekigahara, Tokugawa Ieyasu granted the 680,000-koku domain of Echizen—formerly the territory of the Shugo-Daimyo Asakura clan and later Shibata Katsuie—to his second son, Yuki Hideyasu, establishing the Shinpan Echizen Fukui Domain. However, in an Echizen where the spirit of the Sengoku period still lingered, a powerful force of swordsmiths known as Echizen Shinto was formed. Led by Echizen Yasutsugu, they gathered from across the country: Higo Daijo Sadakuni, Yamashiro no Kami Kunikiyo, Yamato Daijo Masanori, Harima Daijo Shigetaka, Echizen Kanenori, Echizen Kanenori, Echizen Kanetane, and the maker of this sword, Hitachi Daijo Fujiwara Narisada. The era of this sword coincides with the time when Izumi no Kami Kaneshige (said to be the master of Kotetsu) was active in Edo, and the first generation Sendai Kunikane was active in Sendai. The sugata of this sword is nagasa, showing a shallow sori with a distinct difference between the motohaba and sakihaba, characteristic of the Kanei era (1626) (400 years ago). The jigane is itame-hada mixed with masame-hada. The hamon is a nioi-deki gunome-midare, incorporating elements of the "kani no tsume" (crab claw) style seen in Sue-Bizen works. It is a wonderfully spirited blade that clearly manifests itself as a sword made for cutting. This sword has been carefully preserved through generations in an old family. We have received it from them with the request: "We have grown old, so please pass this on to someone who will cherish it." Because of this, we are offering it at a special bargain price. Please enjoy this piece.
