Hi guys selling this beautiful ubu Tadahiro katana and koshirae, don't hesitate to reach out if you want high res/more pics. Tadahiro is the son of Shodai Tadayoshi. He was born in Saga, Hizen in 1614 and he studied under his father (from the age of 10!) and other great smiths such as the first generation Masahiro, and Yoshinobu. When his father died in 1632, Tadahiro took up the reins for the school. He received his title of Omi Daijo in 1641 - a very unusual honour to receive at the young age of 28. The short time to receiving this title is probably an indication of how prolific the school was in producing fine swords, and the prestige it earned for the Nabeshima Daimyo. Nidai Tadahiro passed away at the age of 81 in the sixth year of Genroku or 1693. His sword-making career spanned over sixty years and resulted in him being the most prolific artisan among the Hizen smiths. Smith Ratings: Fujishiro’s reference: Jo Jo Saku (Above Superior made) Hawley’s: 70 points Toko taikan / Dr Tokuno: 800 man yen (very highly regarded) Sharpness rating: Kokan Kaji Biko by Yamada Asaemon- rated as O Wazamono (formidable cutting ability). Nidai Tadahiro’s forte is his skill in producing suguha hamon.

Sayagaki translation Hizen-no-kuni Fujiwara Tadahiro Ubu with eight-character signature. An early work of the Tadahiro 2nd. The jitetsu of konuka hada, and the clear, belt-like suguha are excellent, and show off this smith's true abilities. This piece was made circa Kan'ei 14 (1637), before Tadahiro received the title of "Ōmi daijō" Length of two shaku, four sun, six bu. Appraised and written on this day in November, 2009, by Tanzan Hendō.

I am listing my Juyo Token blade for sale with the consent of my instructor, Tatsuhiko Konno-sensei. This is a fine example of a Taima blade (mumei) dating from the late Kamakura period. This blade was awarded Juyo Token at the 67th NBTHK evaluation. The blade comes with a shirasaya, oshigata, and a double-layer, gold-plated habaki. Type (Tachi, Katana, Wakizashi, Tanto, Naginata, Other) : Katana Ubu, Suriage or O-Suriage : Suriage Mei : (Mumei, Signature) : Mumei Papered or not and by whom? : Juyo Token, 67th NBTHK Era/Age : Late Kamakura Period Shirasaya, Koshirae or Bare Blade? : Shirasaya Weight: 610 g Nagasa/Blade Length : 61.9 cm Sori : 1.3 cm Mekugi-ana: 3 Width at base: 3.0 cm Width at tip: 2.2 cm Thickness: 0.6 cm Hamon Type : Suguha Jihada : Mokume-hada Other Hataraki Visible : Nioi-guchi Flaws : N/A Other Info and Full Description : The blade was judged as belonging to the Taima school. The Taima school is one of the 5 Yamato schools, along with Hosho, Senjuin, Shikkake, and Tegai. Yamato den swords are quite uncommon, and those of the Taima are especially uncommon. Despite (or perhaps partially due to) their rarity, Taima blades often trickle up to Juyo status. This blade has a large suriage, but the fundamental characteristics of the blade are clear to see. Namely, the polish brings out the fantastic Taima school mokume hada - on a personal note, I have studied many blades under my instructor, and have never seen one with such beautiful and apparent hada as this. The hamon of the blade is of course suguha, but has a deep nioi-guchi. I like to think of suguha hamon as a ZNKR seitei kata - though standard in outward appearance between many blades, the execution truly distinguishes masters. I hope this blade may become a fine part of your collection. Sword Location : Seattle, WA Will ship to : US (need to research for overseas, my first time!) Payment Methods Accepted : Bank Wire (open to discussion) Price and Currency : $22,000 USD This is a price I will have to consult with my instructor on, but am open to discussion. Unfortunately, given the current political climate in the US, there may be a hefty surcharge on any blades coming in the future.

This is a daisho by Sakai Ikkansai Shigemasa with a beautiful paired eggshell lacquer koshirae. I’ve never seen a koshirae made to this level of quality, and some to whom I have shown the daisho think that the koshirae of a higher quality than the blades themselves (which says quite a lot). The handles are twist-wrapped with leather. Both blades also have kozuka. Both blades were made in 1971. The blades+koshirae come with additional kantei papers from Mitsuo Shibata. The dai is tremendously long, coming in at over 2.5 shaku. Both blades are in good condition, and have nice horimono.

1 desirable signed Samurai Jumonji Yari (polearm/spear) available. This fine Jumonji Yari would make an important addition to any collection. This yari has a well-cut signature. It is signed 武州下原住内記康重 Bushu Shitaharaju Naiki Yasushige. Fujishiro ranks Yasushige as a jo saku smith. Yasushige worked from 1624 to 1661 A.D. This yari measures 8" by 5 11/16" (20.3 cm X 14.4 cm). This yari measures 18 3/16" overall (46.2 cm) including the nakago. This jumonji yari has a straight temper line. Condition: The blade is in original Japanese polish. The blade has carbon staining and oxidation. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy. Note that the nakago at the lower mekugi-ana bends easily. So the nakago needs to be handled carefully. What a beautiful blade. There is not even one ware/opening in the blade. This jumonji yari would polish beautifully. $1775 plus postage (if choosing to pay via Paypal or credit card, add their fee) --Matthew Brice St. Croix Blades

Dear all Tough times for sellers - but great times for buyers: I am offering a very nice Ko Kinko kogai made from yamagane with the design of a ruler. It was made in the 17th century or earlier!

However, this situation changed during the turbulent 幕末Bakumatsu period (the last stage of Edo period) when Katana were once again expected to be used on the cruel battlefront. With the introduction of advanced western firearms, those which used to take the dominant rule on the battlefield, Yumi (bow) and Yari (spears), were replaced by firearms and fell into disuse. The Katana became the only primary melee weapon, and the size of blade once again increased due to this reason. ——This particular blade by 阿州祐芳Ashu Sukeyoshi is a perfect sample of such Katana. 祐芳Sukeyoshi, also signed as 阿州吉川六郎源祐芳 Ashu Kikkawa Rokuro Minamoto Sukeyoshi, is a well appreciated Shinshinto period smith who mainly actived during the 幕末Bakumatsu period. Despite Sukeyoshi was born in the country of 阿波Awa (阿波国, today's Tokushima prefectured), it was told that he is the decendent of the 吉川Kikkawa family of the 毛利Mori clan that was originated in the country of 周防Suo (周防国, today's Yamaguchi prefecture). He studied under 横山祐永Yokoyama Sukenaga, the Edo period descendent of the famous 備前長船Bozen Osafune school, and later worked under the 蜂須賀Hachisuka clan of the 徳島藩Tokushima-han domain. Sukeyoshi's work is known for being favored by 近藤勇Kondo Isami, the leader of the famous 幕府Bakufu commissioned elite swordman group 新撰組Shinsen-gumi. As shown in the photos, like many other of his works, this sword is a typical Bakumatsu period "oversized" Katana with an obviously larger size in all aspects: thicker, longer, and wider, with a Moto-gasane of ~8mm and Saki-gasane of ~6mm —— it's a hefty monster in hand. The Shirasaya is very decently made by great quality wave-patterned 朴木Hou-no-ki wood, that's also large and thick as the size of the blade. It has 鞘書きSayagaki written, which reads as: 阿州吉川六郎源祐芳作 made by Ashu Kikkawa Rokuro Minamoto Sukeyoshi 新撰組局長近藤勇愛刀之一口 a blade favored by Kondo Isami, the leader of Shinsen-gumi 但本作生茎無銘也 but this piece is Ubu Nakago, Mumei unsigned 長ニ尺四寸七分 Nagasa 2 Shaku 4 Sun 7 Bu 令和五歳文月吉祥日 an auspicious day of July, 5th year of Reiwa 備山誌之 (花押) recorded by Bizan

1 difficult to find Japanese model 1883 Naval Kyu-Gunto Samurai Officer's sword. This rare Imperial Japanese Navy Officer's katana would make an important addition to any collection. A sword in model 1883 Naval Kyu-Gunto sword mounts is rare. An example in exceptional condition is extremely difficult to find. The Naval mounts on this sword are mint. Of Kyu-Gunto mounted swords--just 1 in 40, or 1 in 50 is in Naval mounts--all others are Army. A sword like this does not come on the market very often. These Naval mounts are often also referred to as Russo-Japanese War mounts. A photo from a reference book of a Japanese Naval Officer posing with this type of sword is provided in this listing. This sword has a Silver Samurai family mon on its backstrap. This sword has an ancestral Samurai blade. The blade dates to the 1644 to 1648 A.D. The nakago/tang is signed 'Hoshu Takada-ju Fujiwara Munekage'. Munekage is ranked a 30 pt. smith in Hawley's--making him a chujo-saku swordsmith. The blade measures 25 13/16" (65.5 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. This sword has a beautiful hamon. This old blade has two holes in the nakago. The sharkskin-covered saya is very fine. All fittings are gilted in gold. The original Naval tassel/portopee is attached. The blade even has desirable kiri komi--(sword cuts or strikes from battle with another Samurai). This sword is papered. The papers accompany this sword. Condition: The mounts are in mint condition. The blade is in perfect polish. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy. $5699.95 shipped within the U.S. (if paying via Paypal or credit card, the PP/credit card fee will be added to the price)

This tsuba has somehow ended up in my small and somewhat scattered collection from a distant past (25 years ago??) while I was living in Singapore and before I started collecting early sukashi tsuba at the beginning of this year. I just had David help out with the mei translation. Haynes H05405.0. Based on death before 1781 (An Ei), this tsubako appears to be a contemporary of the 7th (Shigehide) and 8th (Yoshihisa) generation of the Umetada Kyoto School. The writing on the white stickies are from the previous owner (there is another one on underside of lid). There is a carved and overlaid scene of two figures at 4:00 with landscape elements beneath clouds on omote. The tree and rocks wrap around to the ura. There are two kogai hitsu-ana of differing sizes. 74 mm (perfectly round), 4.7 mm, 4.0 at mimi. Comes in newish paulownia box. $350 (or best offer)

https://www.ebay.com/itm/355506420160 I'm currently selling this Gendaito I bought a while ago. Price is negotiable. Gendaito Katana, Signed Yoshichika (may 1944). This is a Gendaito made in May 1944 by Yoshichika: the fittings are combination of traditional koshirae and Gunto koshirae, this is an arsenal sword. The tsukaito is lacquered silk and fits loosely, The tsuka has some rattle Yoshichika was known for using unorthodox materials for his blades, this one appears to be made from a modern steel as opposed to Tamehagane, which isn't unusual for swords of this era, but is definitely made through traditional methods. The hamon is VERY light and difficult to see unless under very specific lighting due to the polish variation, but it is definitely there with a suguha hamon. The koshirae are an interesting mix of Traditional Edo Era style fittings with elements of Imperial Japanese Gunto fittings: Primarily with Gunto style Menuki and Kashira. Additionally, and interestingly, the Menkui are placed in the tachi-style top right bottom left configuration, seen often on arsenal swords and gunto. Additionally, the Naval Knot on the tsuka is the right hand side. All of this points to the sword being worn tachi/gunto style with the blade facing down, yet the sword is fit with a standard Uchigatana style saya to be worn with an Obi, facing up. The saya is a standard black lacquer with Buffalo Horn fittings on the bottom and top for stability. No major cracks or forging flaws. The blade is healthy and heavy without much Sori. STAND NOT INCLUDED Please forward me any questions Nagasa 27 inches Tsuka 10 inches Will be shipped with a free sword bag and the original registration license. The blade will be be oiled before shipment.
