Katana in Shirasaya with Koshirae (NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token)<\/p>\n

Signature: G\u014dsh\u016b Junin Sasaki Zenshir\u014d Minamoto Kazumine(\/Ippo) (2nd Generation)
\nTenna 3 Sai 2 Gatsu Hi (March, 1683)<\/p>\n

Shinto: Wazamono: Jyo Saku: \u014cmi
\nWe divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku.
\nThis piece is considered a Saijyo Saku (highest level) work among those made by Sasaki Zenshir\u014d Minamoto no Kazumine(\/Ippo).
\nHabaki: Single-layer gold-covered
\nBlade Length: 67.2 cm (26.46 in)
\nCurvature: 1.5 cm (0.59 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 3.15 cm (1.24 in)
\nWidth at Tip: 2.04 cm (0.80 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 0.69 cm (0.27 in)
\nSword Weight: 715 grams
\nEra: Edo period, around Tenna era (1681\u20131684)
\nShape: The blade has a slightly wide mihaba, standard thickness, a rather deep curvature, and an extended kissaki.
\nJigane: Ko-itame hada, well-forged and of high quality.
\nHamon: Ko-nie deki with a deeply nioiguchi midare-ba (irregular pattern), resulting in a remarkable appearance.<\/p>\n

Features: The second-generation Sasaki Zenshir\u014d Minamoto no Kazumine(\/Ippo), unlike the first generation Kazumine, produced excellent works.
\nI consider the hamon on this blade to be a Saijyo Saku (top-grade) example.
\nAnyone who views this piece will surely be amazed by its workmanship.<\/p>\n

Koshirae:
\nTsuba: Iron tsuba carved with a pine tree design and decorated with gold iroe.
\nFuchikashira and Kojiri (Kurigata): Made of brass, engraved with patterns.
\nMenuki: Chrysanthemums in high relief on shakud\u014d base, decorated with gold iroe.
\nSaya (Scabbard): Black ishimeji (stone-textured) finish.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: The koshirae is not particularly extravagant, but the blade is a masterpiece by the second-generation smith.
\nThis is a rare and remarkable example.
\nThe hamon is vigorous and highly unusual, rarely seen.
\nUpon closer inspection, the workmanship reveals its intense artistry, making it a truly admirable piece.<\/p>\n
