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 wakizashi is signed by Nagasone Kotetsu Nyudo Okisato and dated to the 9th year of Kanbun (1669). It features a well-forged ko-itame hada with ji-kei and a bright suguha hamon. The blade comes with a luxurious koshirae adorned with the Gosan-kiri family crest on the fuchi, kashira, menuki, kojiri, and tsuba, and has been recently polished.
