Very healthy textbook
wakizashi by Omi Daijo Tadahiro. He is the son and second generation
of the first Tadayoshi. Thick nie-deki suguha hamon, as is the case
for a textbook example of Hizen Tadahiro. As there are many swords
signed Tadahiro made by his students as well, for some it is difficult
to discern the differences.
Those that are well made, with the nioguchi done in thick nie, instead
of a thin line, are the most wanted. This sword has the thick nioguchi,
with a beautiful fine ko-itame hada. Fine Ji nie is present in abundance
with chikei. Hizen swords are also notorious for having thin skin
steel (kawagane), and many has terrible spots of core steel (shintetsu)
bleeding through the outer layer. This sword has a perfect hada,
with no kizu or core steel showing. Boshi is classic maru in the
Hizen style and very healthy. Along with its original tang, this
sword is considered very healthy and a top example of Tadahiro.
Tang is in great condition, ubu 1 hole and no machi raise. A serious
sword, for those collectors that want a textbook example. |
