This is an unsigned yari (spear) from the early Edo period. It features an itame hada (wood grain pattern) and a suguha hamon (straight temper line). The yari comes with a koshirae (mounting) and is described as an 'okago yari' (basket spear), meaning it is short enough to be carried in a basket. Please note that the blade may move within the koshirae as there is no mekugi-ana in the koshirae.

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.
