NBTHK Hozon Token
\nWe divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku.
\nThis work is ranked as Jyojyo Saku among those by Shoshin.<\/p>\n

Habaki: Single-layered plain copper
\nBlade Length: 22.3 cm (8.78 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 0.97 cm (0.38 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 1.75 cm (0.69 in)
\nEra: Late Muromachi period, around Eisho era (circa 1504\u20131521)<\/p>\n

Shape:
\nThis is a thick tanto called “Yoroidoshi”, made for piercing armor.<\/p>\n

Jigane:
\nThe ko-itame hada is very finely forged and beautifully packed. A whitish utsuri appears in the upper part of the jigane.<\/p>\n

Hamon:
\nMade in ko-nie style with a tight and clear suguha. The boshi is round and turns back, ending with a hakikake.<\/p>\n

Features:
\nThere are smiths named Shoshin from Yamashiro, Yamato, Ise, and Mikawa provinces. Judging by the quality, this piece is likely the work of the Tegai school from Yamato. It also appears to be slightly older, likely made around the Eisho era.
\nThe jigane is tightly forged and resembles the texture of yokan (red bean jelly), displaying fine masame patterns that strongly reflect the characteristics of Yamato-den.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment:
\nFrom the mid-Muromachi period, Yoroidoshi blades became more common. This piece, with its thick kasane, conveys a sense of sharpness and purpose.
\nIt remains in healthy condition, and the quality of the jigane is outstanding. This is a very attractive work.<\/p>\n
