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.
NihontoWatchNihontoWatchIn ryoshinogi-zukuri style, with hi carved on both the omote and ura in marudome, this is a piece that combines power with a refined design. The ryugo-gata taihai, with the center of the ha slightly narrowed, possesses dignity, while the fukura at the tip is tight, and the thick, "solid" presence of the sugata leaves a powerful impression on the viewer. No noteworthy kizu are found, the nioiguchi is bright and clear, and the midareba is tempered with great vigor; furthermore, rich hataraki such as sunagashi, nijuba, and tobiyaki dwell throughout, and the high quality of the deki is truly remarkable. Despite its short length, it can be called a masterpiece that perfectly balances the elegance of a yari with a high level of skill. By applying appropriate togi, the beauty of the ji and ha will stand out even more vividly, and it possesses sufficient quality to withstand submission for Hozon Token kantei. It is a superior item combining historical value and aesthetic beauty, suitable for long-term ownership and appreciation.

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.
