| Nice wakizashi
signed "Noshu Seki Jumyo". Tang is original, 1 hole very
good condition and patina. This maker worked around the 1660's, and
did work in the Mino style. Nie makes up a very active and flamboyant
hamon, nice ashi, sunagashii and kinsuji appear throughout the hamon
of gunome , mixed with some choji midare. Ji-nie is very heavy in
spots, and tobiyaki appears. Boshi is very healthy, almost with a
togari kaeri. Hada is a large grained mokume mixed with masame. Chikei
is present, well defined. In good polish, with one very, very small
grain separation in the ji. Nice stout shape, retaining all of its
character due to being all original, shape never having been altered.
Nice shirasaya with a silver foil habaki. NBTHK paper. One note, this
sword would make a very good companion as a "Dai-sho" with
the Jumyo katana that is also for sale. |
