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 wakizashi is signed 'Jumyo', a name associated with good fortune. It features a shinogi-zukuri construction with an iori-mune, flowing itame hada, and a midare hamon with some gunome. The blade has a small kissaki and a suriage nakago with a kiri-jiri. It comes with a plain wood habaki.
