Blade Info :

Solid and well made piece by Wazamono and Chujo-Saku ranked Yasuhiro. This is work from the 1st generation Yasuhiro, the complete signature found on the tang reads "Bitchu No Kami Tachibana Yasuhiro". This piece has recently passed Tokubetsu ranking by the NBTHK which attests this to being exceptionally good work. Yasuhiro played an important role in history as he founded the Osaka Ishido school. On this piece he inscribed a 16 leaf chrysanthemum on the tang, which was the imperial seal, not many smiths were granted permission to do this. The work is majestic, with a stunning choji-midare Hamon that looks like aggressive clouds. The polish and skin condition is exceptional, with a cutting edge of 70.4cm/ 27.72 inches with a shallow Sori (curvature) of 0.7cm / 0.3 inches.

I highly highly recommend this piece if you are looking for very good work at a reasonable price. Blade comes housed in a very high quality and large Shirasaya

Koshirae:

The fittings are subtle and elegant in close to perfect condition, a floral theme Tsuba & Fuchi/ Kashira, and Shishi dog Menuki. The Fuchi. Kashira bear the Katakura clan Kamon (family crest), they were the retaining family of the famed Date clan. The Shishi dog menuki are made of Shakudo and Gold. All the fittings date to late Edo period (pre 1869AD) which itself is worth collecting. Close up images are needed to see the true detail so feel free to email me as I have many more pictures. 

*** Comes with 2 traditional sword bags.    *** Item must be paid within 5 days.
