After the Ōnin War broke the Ashikaga order, a century of Sengoku warfare armed nearly every province in Japan. The era rewards a discriminating eye: routine work exists in quantity, and beside it stand custom blades of the first rank.
Although there is no certificate, judging from the length of the kera-kubi, it is thought to be a work from the late Muromachi period. Goma-hashi are carved into the flat surface. The kera-kubi is hexagonal. The length of the kera-kubi is approximately 4.5 centimeters. The thickness of the kera-kubi is 16.3 millimeters. The ha-tari excluding the kera-kubi is 30.4 centimeters. *Consignment item

We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
As a rule we do not accept returns, except when we have sent a different item from the one ordered or when there is a significant discrepancy between the description and the item. If you wish to return an item, please contact us within 3 days of its arrival and then send it back.
