This is a wakizashi attributed to Tsuda Omi no Kami Sukenao, though the signature's authenticity is not guaranteed. It features a broad and thick blade with a large kissaki and a prominent gunome-midare hamon. The blade comes with an NBTHK Tokubetsu Kicho certificate.
NihontoWatchgimei · Shinto · nagasa 47cm · sori 1.2cm
The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
For two and a half centuries of peace the sword was the warrior’s legal badge rather than his weapon. Each great city developed its own manner, Edo’s tested strength against Ōsaka’s polished brilliance, until demand thinned in the era’s last decades.
This work carries older NBTHK “Kichō”-era papers, which the NBTHK no longer issues and now regards as unreliable. To confirm the attribution, submission to an official Japanese examination body (such as the NBTHK or NTHK) for modern certification could be considered.
