The nagasa is standard, the sori is shallow, and the chu-kissaki is slightly elongated. [Jigane] Itame-hada mixed with mokume, becoming fine and dense. The ji-nie is thick, and the shirake-utsuri is visible. [Hamon] Based on a gentle chu-suguha, the nioiguchi is bright and clear with deep nie. The habuchi is sprinkled with hotsure and fine kinsuji. [Boshi] Straight with a small, rounded kaeri. [Koshirae] Black Ishime-ji Lacquer Saya Wakizashi Koshirae Tsuba: Mokko-gata, Iron ground with gold nunome-zogan. Fuchi-Kashira: Shakudo Nanako-ji, Autumn insects motif, Takabori, Iro-e. Menuki: Shakudo, Floral motif, Yobori. Kozuka: Shakudo Nanako-ji, Shishi lion motif, Takabori, Iro-e. [Explanation] The Enju school was founded by Taro Kunimura, the grandson of Rai Kunitoshi, who moved from Yamashiro to Higo Province (Kumamoto Prefecture) during the late Kamakura period. They served as the exclusive swordsmiths for the Kikuchi clan. This work is mumei but has been attributed to Enju by the NBTHK. The jigane shows a beautiful itame-hada with shirake-utsuri, and the hamon is a refined suguha with a bright nioiguchi, characteristic of the school's elegant style inherited from the Rai school. The koshirae is a high-quality set featuring shakudo nanako fittings with exquisite iro-e work, making it an excellent piece for both appreciation and collection.
