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.
This is a mumei wakizashi from the mid-Muromachi period, featuring a practical shape with a high shinogi and thin mune. The jigane is itame with masame flowing in the shinogi, and the hamon is a tight nie-deki ko-notare with a clear nioiguchi, giving the blade a powerful and substantial feel. It comes as a full set with a koshirae featuring antique fittings, an intricately carved saya, and a shirasaya.
