Features: Osafune Sukesada group was a school of swordsmiths active in the late Muromachi period.
\nDuring this time, Japan was in the midst of the Sengoku period, leading to a high demand for swords.
\nMany blades were produced in regions such as Bizen and Mino.
\nIt is said that there were more than a dozen swordsmiths who used the name Osafune Sukesada, and they produced large number of swords, and the quality varies from piece to piece. <\/p>\n

Koshirae: Handachi Koshirae
\nTsuba: rounded iron tsuba with brass inlays of plants.
\nMenuki: a picture of a monckey trying to ride a horse. <\/p>\n

From Aoi-Art: Sukesada is often referred to as “mass-produced” due to the large number of works. This piece made in the Eiroku era, relatively early among them, is of comparatively good workmanship.
\nThis piece has notable length and curvature for a Wakizashi, suggesting that it was likely made as a sword for one-handed use.
\nThe Koshirae is well-crafted, and the design of the Menuki in particular is quite charming.<\/p>\n
