He was known as Shoji Minohyoe and became a student of Suishinshi Masahide. Later, he served under Lord Akimoto along with Masahide. Around Bunsei 4 (1821), he received the title of Chikuzen Daijo, and in Kaei 1 (1848), he was promoted to Mino-no-suke. His works are diverse, initially resembling his master\u2019s large-wave midare (\u014ct\u014dran-midare) pattern during the early Bunka period. By the Tenp\u014d era, he skillfully incorporated the Yamato-den, S\u014dsh\u016b-den, Mino-den, and Yamashiro-den straight tempering (suguha) styles. Naotane is regarded as one of the representative master smiths of the Shinshinto period.<\/p>\n<p>Aoi Art\u2019s Comment:\u3000This sword features a bo-hi, which extends into the nakago. The presence of a ka\u014d (signature mark) above the groove suggests that the groove was carved at the time of manufacture. This piece is a magnificent and imposing work with a long blade length of 80 cm (31.50 in).<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token<br \/>\nAoi Art Estimation Paper<br \/>\nWhole Oshigata<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045paper-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045paper-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"40%\" height=\"40%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045paper-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045paper-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"40%\" height=\"40%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045sayagaki.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045sayagaki.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\u201c40%\" height=\u201c40%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045_p.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2025\/25045_p.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\u201c70%\" height=\u201c70%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordering number:AS25045 Tachi in Shirasaya (NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token) Signature:Dewa Kuni Junin Taikei Shoji Naotane Ka\u014d Bunka 14 Nen Ch\u016bshun (Spring of 1817) \u51fa\u7fbd\u570b\u4f4f\u4eba\u5927\u6176\u5e84\u53f8\u76f4\u80e4\u3000\u82b1\u62bc \u6587\u5316\u5341\u56db\u5e74\u4ef2\u6625\u3000 Shinshinto: Saijyo Saku: Musashi (We divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku, and Regular Saku.)
