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 is a distinguished Japanese katana featuring a substantial 75.8 cm Shintō-era blade with a vigorous gunome-midare hamon and fine ko-itame jihada. It is presented in a complete high-grade Edo-period daimyō-style koshirae, characterized by its black lacquer saya with gold kinpun, inlaid iron tsuba, and mustard-gold silk sageo, creating a harmonious and aristocratic presentation.
