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 an unsigned wakizashi from the early Edo period. It features a shinogi-zukuri sugata with a prominent itame hada and a midare hamon. The blade has a small kissaki and a ko-maru boshi, with an ubu nakago and kurijiri. It comes with a gold-colored double habaki. The hamon is clear and beautiful, resembling a katana.
