Description

This is an unsigned wakizashi from the late Muromachi period, around the Genki era (1570-1573). It features a high shinogi and saki-zori, with an itame-nagare jigane mixed with masame and a slightly rough texture. The hamon is a nie-deki ko-midare, and the boshi is pointed with a slight turn-back. It comes with a koshirae featuring period fittings, a tightly wrapped leather ito on the tsuka, and a black roiro saya with a square openwork tsuba.

Historical context

The Muromachi period (1392 to 1573)

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.

The Muromachi period (1392 to 1573)

Warning — certificate not found

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.
