Signature: Tairyusai Sokan Zo Kore
\nAnsei 3, Hinoe-Tatsu Nen 2 Gatsu Hi (February, 1856)
\n\u6cf0\u9f8d\u658e\u5b97\u5bdb\u9020\u4e4b
\n\u5b89\u653f\u4e09\u4e19\u8fb0\u5e74\u4e8c\u6708\u65e5<\/p>\n

Sayagaki: By Mr.Tanobe
\nTairyusai Muneyasu
\nDated Ansei 3
\nThis piece bears an inscription from just before he transitioned to the Reisho-style signature.
\nThe workmanship is excellent, showcasing a flamboyant style within his body of work.
\nBlade Length: 2 shaku 3 sun 4.5 bu (71.0 cm \/ 27.95 in)
\nDated: K\u014dshin Year, Late September (2004)
\nExamined and written by Tanzan (with ka\u014d)<\/p>\n

Shinshinto: Jyo Saku: Musashi
\n(We divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku)
\nThis piece is ranked as Jyojyo Saku among the works of Tairyusai Muneyasu.
\nHabaki: Single-layered, gold-covered
\nBlade Length: 71.0 cm (27.95 in)
\nCurvature: 2.0 cm (0.79 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 3.23 cm (1.27 in)
\nWidth at Yokote (Sakihaba): 2.43 cm (0.96 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 0.81 cm (0.32 in)
\nSword Weight: 835 g
\nEra: Edo period, Ansei era
\nShape: Wide blade with deep curvature. The boshi is deep and long.
\nJigane: Finely forged ko-itame with excellent quality.
\nHamon: Starts in suguha at the hamachi, then transitions to choji-midare mixed with gunome-midare. The boshi becomes wavy and returns in a round shape.<\/p>\n

Features: This is a healthy work with the original blade edge intact by Tairyusai Muneyasu.
\nAs noted in the sayagaki, it is from his early period, just before adopting the Reisho-style mei.
\nIt closely resembles excellent works by Koyama Munetsugu.
\nThe choji-midare is bright and clear, making it a splendid piece.
\nHis masterpieces are said to feature gunome-midare with evenly aligned heads, showing fine utsuri above each peak.
\nWhile this early work lacks utsuri, the hamon is bright and vivid.
\nI regard this piece as an outstanding example of Muneyasu\u2019s craftsmanship.
\nA student of Koyama Munetsugu, he was born in Furukawa, Abukumagawa.
\nHis work in this piece exceeds even that of his teacher.<\/p>\n

Koshirae:
\nTsuba: (Hozon Tosogu) Mumei (Higo). Iron, vertically oval shape with inlaid gold and silver motifs of nine-star crest and cherry blossoms in arabesque.
\nFuchikashira: Shakudo with deeply carved image of a sage, decorated with gold.
\nSaya (Scabbard): Black lacquered.
\nKojiri: Iron with insect motif.
\nMenuki: Dragon motif.<\/p>\n

Historical Context: On the 25th day of the 8th month of Ansei 3 (September 23, 1856), a major wind and flood disaster known as the “Great Storm of Ansei 3” struck.
\nA powerful typhoon passed close to Edo, causing widespread damage from storm winds and high tides throughout the city.<\/p>\n
