Shinto: Wazamono: Jyo Saku: Echizen
\nWe divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku.
\nThis work is ranked as Jyo Saku among the works of Omi no Kami Fujiwara Tsuguhiro.
\nHabaki: Single-layered gold-covered habaki
\nBlade Length: 70.0 cm (27.56 in)
\nCurvature: 1.7 cm (0.67 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 2
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 2.96 cm (1.17 in)
\nWidth at Yokote (Sakihaba): 1.93 cm (0.76 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 0.71 cm (0.28 in)
\nSword Weight: 805 g
\nEra: Edo period, around Kanbun era (1661\u20131673)
\nShape: Slightly wide blade with well-forged thickness, deep curvature, and slightly extended kissaki.
\nJigane: Well-forged itame-hada with visible grain pattern.
\nHamon: Slightly subdued choji-midare.
\nThe blade shows activity such as sunagashi and kinsuji, with the boshi midare turning back into a small rounded point.<\/p>\n

Features: Most swordsmiths from Echizen inscribe the mei on the front and carve “Echizen Ju” or “Echizen Ju Shimosaka” on the back.
\nThis appears to have been a common practice.
\nEchizen swordsmiths emphasized cutting ability, and many works show subdued hamon patterns, which should be considered a distinctive trait.<\/p>\n

Koshirae:
\nTsuba: Circular iron tsuba with Amida-yasuri carving and blade-like shapes.
\nFuchikashira: Iron base with horse motifs, highlighted with gold.
\nSignature possibly reads “Moto”.
\nSaya (Scabbard): Black glossy lacquered saya.
\nMenuki: Shakudo base with high-relief plant motifs.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: This sword seems to have been owned by a typical samurai.
\nThough the blade by Omi no Kami Fujiwara Tsuguhiro has been shortened and has a new machi, its hamon suggests good cutting ability and subdued tempering.
\nIn addition, the presence of fine sunagashi and kinsuji indicates a highly practical sword.<\/p>\n
