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

Inscription: Mumei(Unsigned)(Ko-Uda \u53e4\u5b87\u591a)<\/p>\n

Sayagaki by Tanzan, translation below:
\nEcchu no Kuni Kouda
\nThis blade is Osuriage Mumei(greatly-shortened and unsigned), and the jigane and hamon clearly show strong Yamato-style characteristics. The Nioi is deep and the nie is thickly attached, giving the whole piece a bold and vigorous feeling. These features are typical of the Ko-Uda school\u2019s work from an early period no later than the Nanbokuch\u014d era, making it an excellent example of this school\u2019s work.
\nwritten by Tanzan in 2018 <\/p>\n

We divide works in to Saijo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku,and Regular Saku.
\nThis piece is ranked as Jyojyo Saku for Mumei(Ko-uda). <\/p>\n

Habaki: gold base carved with a hollyhock familycrest
\nBlade Length: 72.7 cm (28.62 in)
\nCurvature: 1.0 cm (0.39 in)

\nWidth at tip(Sakihaba): 1.89 cm (0.74 in)
\nThickness: 0.62 cm (0.24 in)
\nBlade Weight: 775g <\/p>\n

Era: the late Kamakura to Nancokucho
\nShape:
\nJigane: Itame with thick Jigane and Chikei. Itame with Masa and Moku on the Shinogi-ji.
\nHamon: Suguha with thick nioikuchi with much Nie consisting Nizyu-ba, Sunagashi and Kinsuji. <\/p>\n

Features:
\nThe Uda school originated from Yamato Province and later moved to Etchu Province. Its founder was said to be Ko-Nyudo Kunimitsu, who was active during the late Kamakura period, and the school remained active until the Edo period. Works made before the early Muromachi period are referred to as “Ko-Uda”, and those afterward simply as “Uda”<\/p>\n

From Aoi-Art:
\nBoth the jigane and the hamon are richly covered with nie, exhibiting a complex appearance that conveys a strong sense of antiquity and beauty. The absence of a b\u014dhi allows appreciation of the workmanship all the way up to the shinogi-ji, which is a notable advantage. It is a blade of enduring visual interest\u2014one that you will never tire of viewing, and I highly recommend it.<\/p>\n
