NihontoWatchClick here for the video Click here for still images↓ Ubu nakago, zaimei, Kagemori Nagasa 81 cm, 2 shaku 6 sun 7 bu Regarding Kagemori According to the Meikan, there are five smiths named Kagemori in the koto period: Kaga (Daiei), Echizen (Oei), Bizen (Tenpuku), Mino (Oei), and Bungo Takada (Eiroku). This sword is seen to be by Kagemori of Bizen province, from the Kamakura period Tenpuku (1233 to 1234). A single sword perfect for a collection. The sword is waiting for you. It is currently Hozon, but because I want it to be promoted (Tokubetsu Hozon or higher), it is scheduled for the next shinsa. In the unlikely event that it does not become Tokubetsu Hozon, a guaranteed sale with a refund of the purchase price is possible, so those who require the paper, please feel free to inquire. For those who do not require the paper (Tokubetsu Hozon), I will make it somewhat cheaper. (Please negotiate for approximately the amount of the Tokubetsu Hozon shinsa fee.) This is a flawless, good sword that a sword dealer recommends with confidence and responsibility. We accept sword purchases, trade-ins, and brokerage. Returns possible Product condition *There are no hagire, hagarami, hakobore, bends, shinae, fukure, nioigire, or kakedashi. There is a homarezuga on the mune. *Please understand there may be dirt, fine surface scratches, deterioration, etc., due to age. Please refer to the photos.

The Kamakura period (1185 to 1333)
Nearly every later authority calls Kamakura the golden age of the sword: the first warrior government as patron, the great traditions at full strength simultaneously, and, tradition holds, the finest smiths of the realm rotating through Go-Toba’s court.
A Hozon-certified blade judged to show notably superior workmanship and a better state of preservation. The bar is higher: re-tempered blades and most unsigned Muromachi/Edo works are excluded.
The NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai, the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords) is a public-interest incorporated foundation founded in 1948 and supervised by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkachō); it is based at the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo. Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
