NihontoWatchThe difference between the width at the moto and saki is well-proportioned, leading to a chu-kissaki. The omote is carved with a shingo, and the ura features bonji and gomahashi. The jigane is ko-itame with a flowing masame, covered in ji-nie with chikei, and the hamon is a suguha with a tight nioiguchi. The nioiguchi is bright and clear, with a single low, knot-like gunome tempered on both the omote and ura, while the boshi is sugu with a maru return. We are offering this at a price that takes restoration costs into account, with the hope that you will perform the appropriate work and add it to your collection.

The Shinshintō revival
Around 1800 Suishinshi Masahide argued in his writings that the craft must return to the old masters’ methods: the fukkotō revival. His greatest successor Naotane worked convincingly in Bizen and Sōshū manners that had been dead for centuries.
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.
