【Product Description】 Blade Classification: Wakizashi Mei: Mumei (Den: Enju) Appraisal: NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token Nagasa: 52.1 cm Sori: 1.2 cm Motohaba: 2.8 cm Sakihaba: 1.9 cm Motokasane: 0.6 cm Sakikasane: 0.4 cm Mekugi-ana: 2 Weight: 445g (blade only) [Description] This is a Wakizashi attributed to the Enju school of Higo Province. The Enju school was founded by Taro Kunimura, the grandson of Rai Kuniyuki, who moved from Yamashiro to Higo (Kumamoto) during the late Kamakura period. The workmanship closely resembles the Rai school, characterized by a refined jigane and a gentle suguha hamon. The jigane is a dense itame-hada mixed with mokume, displaying a beautiful and clear texture with abundant jinie and shirake-utsuri. The hamon is a graceful chu-suguha in konie-deki, with a bright and clear nioiguchi, containing fine ashi and yo. The boshi is sugu with a small maru return. The koshirae is an elegant koshirae featuring: Fuchi-kashira: Shakudo-nanako ground with autumn insects in takabori and iro-e. Menuki: Shakudo-nanako ground with floral motifs. Tsuba: Iron ground with openwork (sukashi). Saya: Black roiro lacquer. This is a masterpiece that allows one to fully appreciate the elegant Yamashiro style inherited by the Enju school. It is highly recommended for collectors.
