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 katana attributed to the Jumyo school of the Shin-Shinto period, originating from Mino province. The blade features a double-edged (moroha-zukuri) construction with an iorimune. It has a small itame hada with mokume, jinie, fine chikei, and shirake utsuri. The hamon is a gunome midare with pointed elements, nioiguchi, and ashi, yo, kinsuji, and sunagashi.
