This particular sword is ranked as Jo-saku in terms of its craftsmanship.<br \/>\nThe polishing quality is excellent.<br \/>\nWhole Shirasaya length: 81.5 cm or 32.08 inches.<br \/>\nBlade Length: 30.4 centimeters 11.97  inches.<br \/>\nCurvature: 0 cm<br \/>\nPeg Hole: 1<br \/>\nMotohaba: 2.87 centimeters1.13  inches.<br \/>\nKasane: 0.89 centimeters 0.35 inches.<br \/>\nEra: Edo period, around Keicho era.<br \/>\nShape: It is a longer blade with a well-proportioned body and an elongated kissaki (point). On the back, there are engravings of a sword Ken and claws. Although the long kissaki<br \/>\ngives the impression of an antique blade, it actually dates back to the early Edo period, during Keicho.<br \/>\nJigane: It has a fine ko-itame hada (small wood grain pattern) with visible jinie (grain<br \/>\npattern) and occasional surface activity.<br \/>\nHamon: It exhibits a mix of bo-utsuri (haze-like effect) and choji (cloves) with a rounded turn at the tip.<\/p>\n<p>Special feature: Etchu no Kami Masatoshi, the fourth son of Seki Kanemichi, received the title<br \/>\nof Etchu no Kami and traveled to Kyoto during the Bunroku era. He produced a limited<br \/>\nnumber of works as a renowned swordsmith in Kyoto. He also crafted spears and<br \/>\nskillfully carved realistic claw engravings on bare blades, as seen in this particular work.<br \/>\nKoshirae: White scabbard<br \/>\nA word from Aoi Bijutsu: Masatoshi, who initially resided in Mino, joined his father, Seki<br \/>\nKanemichi, and his brothers, Tanba no Kami Yoshimichi and Iga no Kami Kanemichi, to<br \/>\npursue their craft in Kyoto. He later became the head of swordsmiths and took on the<br \/>\nresponsibility of overseeing the sword-making process. Masatoshi&#8217;s expertise lies in the<br \/>\nAshu tradition, and he produced exceptionally fine works. In the second generation, the<br \/>\nchrysanthemum pattern was added.<br \/>\nThis remarkable work by Etchu no Kami Masatoshi is highly recommended.<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token<br \/>\nAoi Art estimation paper<br \/>\nWhole Oshigata<\/p>\n<p>Please note: The price does not include the international shipping fees. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-4.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"30%\" height=\"30%\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359paper-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359paper-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"40%\" height=\"40%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359paper-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359paper-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"40%\" height=\"40%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359sayagaki.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359sayagaki.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\u201c40%\" height=\u201c40%\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359_p.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aoijapan.com\/img\/sword\/2023\/23359_p.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\u201c70%\" height=\u201c70%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ordering number:AS26372 Yari: in Shirasaya(NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token) Signature: Etchu no Kami Masatoshi \u8d8a\u4e2d\u5b88\u6b63\u4fca At our company, we categorize swords based on the craftsmanship quality as Jijo-saku (Top Quality), Jojo-saku (Excellent Quality), Jo-saku (High Quality), and Futsujo-saku (Regular Quality).
