NihontoWatchNihontoWatchKanetsuji is one of the representative swordsmiths of Mino, beginning with the first generation around Eisho and continuing until around Kanbun in the early Edo period. This wakizashi has a sharp tsukurikomi with a well-proportioned difference between the motohaba and sakihaba and an extended kissaki; the jigane is ko-itame mixed with moku, well-refined and tight, skillfully tempered with a suguha of bright nioiguchi, where fine sunagashi and nijuba-style teeth are observed along the habuchi, and the boshi on both sides is sugu with a maru tip, returning with a kuissage of nie-suji. The koshirae is highly prestigious with a mijin-nuri using an abundance of aogai, the metal fittings used are also of good workmanship, and the seppa are suakagane-ji with kin-kise, making it a masterpiece that clearly suggests it was owned by a samurai of high stipend. In its current condition, there is tsuba-nari. There is a slight rattling in the tsuka.

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.
