Description

This is an unsigned wakizashi from the late Muromachi period, around the Genki era (1570-1573). It features a high shinogi and saki-zori, with an itame-nagare jigane mixed with masame and a slightly rough texture. The hamon is a nie-deki ko-midare, and the boshi is pointed with a slight turn-back. It comes with a koshirae featuring period fittings, a tightly wrapped leather ito on the tsuka, and a black roiro saya with a square openwork tsuba.

Historical context

The Muromachi period (1392 to 1573)

After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.

The Muromachi period (1392 to 1573)
