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.
This is a fine wakizashi signed by Hoki no Kami Taira Ason Masayuki, a principal swordsmith of the Satsuma tradition during the late Edo period. The blade measures 43.7 cm with a restrained sori of 0.9 cm, displaying a flowing notare-based hamon with gunome and vigorous nie activity. It comes with an attractive formal koshirae featuring deep teal tsuka-ito, pale samegawa, and dark patinated fittings with gold decoration.
