Swords - wakizashi
Description:
The blade is signed "Yamashiro koku nishijin ju-nin Umetada Myouju, Keicho10 nen 8 gatsu hi", owner's name "Maeda Tokuzenin". Edo period Ca.1605 made. The blade was badly rusted as i received it. The polishing was one of the hardest jobs i have ever done... As all the details are visible now, i just can say that it is a great piece of workmanship and every hour i spend on it was well invested. |

tsuba
Item Type:
Fittings - tsuba
Description:
Shape is Mokko gata. Traditional motif of Shishi dog playing with a ball and the butterfly is skillfully applied. The rope runs through mimi and goes to the other side. There is a plug made of shakudo on the inner side of kozuka hitsu-ana. Nakago-ana has been widened to accomodate a larger blade. Another alteration has been made presumably at the same time: lion's tail has been cut and the end of the rope beside the ball is flattened. It seems like this has been done to fit a bigger seppa. Width: 79mm |
