[Explanation] The Enju school was founded by Taro Kunimura, the grandson of Rai Kunitoshi, who moved from Yamashiro to Higo Province (Kikuchi-gun) during the late Kamakura period. They served as the exclusive swordsmiths for the Kikuchi clan. Their workmanship closely resembles the Rai school, characterized by a refined jigane with shirake-utsuri and a gentle suguha hamon. This blade is a sunnobi-wakizashi in hira-zukuri style. The jigane shows a beautiful itame-hada with jinie and clear utsuri. The hamon is a classic suguha with a bright nioiguchi, exhibiting the quintessential characteristics of the Enju school. It has been designated as Tokubetsu Hozon by the NBTHK, attesting to its high quality and preservation. The accompanying koshirae is also elegantly finished with high-quality shakudo fittings.
