Hi Adam, believe me, it's even nicer in hands. But I'm not interested in a trade. There is a notch on the Nakago. I don't know whether the stories about it are true. Headcounts.... The Habaki is covered with silver foil. 2x Aluminum Seppa. Top polish! For the Shirasaya and the Gunto mount fine covers are of course included. A beautiful blade assigned to a high-ranking blacksmith: ¥ 3,0 (Millionen Yen Toko Taikan TK333) 80 (W.M. Hawley SUK893) Jo Saku (Fujishiro Seite 487)

Old Torokusho

The mounted Tsuba ist from Edo-period mit Mei: Tetsujin, which translates as “the iron man”. The artist, whose family name was Aoki, was a martial artist who founded a dojo in the Kanda district of Edo. His family was known not only for their martial arts skills, but also for their skills as iron craftsmen who made both swords and tsuba. The Aoki family continued the lineage of Enmei Ryu (a martial arts style), which was also known as Enmei Jitte Ryu, Tetsujin Jitte Ryu and Tetsujin Nito Ryu. Incidentally, Enmei Ryu was the style that Miyamoto Musashi originally studied and which was founded by his grandfather.

I don't need to write much about the smith here. More infos here: https://japaneseswordindex.com/naga.htm This is a great blade and I hope someone takes the opportunity. The price is very fair. A Nagamitsu with BoHi, long Mei and date is hard to find.

That's help me a lot. Thank you Jussi!

Unfortunately, today you mostly see hadori finish. But thank's for the comments. Finding a comparable Mei is not easy.

Hello friends, I would like to hear your opinion on this 54.5 cm long wakizashi. I have been trying to find out what generation the shinto smith is or if it is gimei. But without much success. I could not find a Yahazu Hamon with Itame hada and Nijuba on any of the other Tomoyuki on the internet. It's a beautiful blade, without question.

No, unfortunately no silver or shakudo.

I think the mei is: 越 前 住 Echizen ju 記 内 Kinai Dragon Tsuba? :-)
