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

I've been lurking on various dealer websites for the past 6 months looking for a nice yari in Koshirae. I see one on auction at AOI (link below) that made me curious about the proper length of saya compared to the blade. In this case, the blade plus Kerakubi is about 26 cm, and the saya (Koshirae) is 42 cm long. So the blade only runs up about half of the saya. I haven't handled enough yari in Koshirae to know how common this is, but in the dozen or so I've seen the saya is only slightly longer than the blade. https://www.aoijapan...ords-appraisal-club/ -

I've been searching for someone that can mount my yari (images attached) in a pillow sword length shaft with fittings (makura koshirae). I was hoping to get my yari mounted for < $1000 USD, but I haven't even found anyone that works on yaris. Nor have I found a source for yari poles and fittings (gyakuwa, dogane, ishizuki, etc.). Before I give up, I want to understand if there are options for mounting my yari, and if so, how should I proceed? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Mike J

I've spent the last year working on tsuka and saya making for katana, but I would like to learn more about naginata I've obtained a few naginata, one of which I'm looking to fit with koshirae, so I have a couple questions about how the pole is made: 1.) How were the fittings fixed to the pole 2.) What kind of seppa were used on a naginata 3.) Does anyone know any sources where I can purchase naginata parts (koshirae) I've found this is a somewhat obscure weapon, and instruction on how they are made/how the pole and saya are made are either non exist, or at least vastly more rare than any information on katana. Thank you.

Hi everyone, recently i bought my first yari from e sword and it arrived yesterday. its attributed to kawachi no kami nonju kanesada its related to the yamato tegai kanenaga den and that was the main reason i got it since i really like that style. Its a small yari head which is only barely longer than 12 cm. What are your opinions on it? was it worth the price of 200K yen? i basically have no expirience with yari (sorry for the bad pics, i currently dont have my DSLR) Regards, Simon

Hello, this is my first post on this forum and i hope i chose a good category for this post. I have a few photos of Yari spear and i was wondering if anyone here could help me with identification. There is signature on it and i wonder what it could say. Sorry for quality of pictures but these are all i have for this moment.

Hi Everyone, I recently got an interesting yari off ebay but it is mounted in a tanto koshirae. It has very impressive lacquer work but the lacquer is cracking, has flaked off in places and it looks like at one point someone used a sharpie to blacken some missing spots that have now grown. I would love to get the yari out and see if it's signed but I am not sure that will ever happen since there does not seem to be a mekugi, it could be glued in, I am not sure. It is so delicate in places I am scared every time I handle it, is there anyone who could correctly get this restored or just stabilized that forum members know of? Maybe this is not the kind of thing that should be messed with at all and just preserved as best it can be as is. On a more general topic, has anyone seen yari mounted like this before? I remember reading somewhere that it was popular in the 1800's to repurpose mounts/mediocre blades to export. I would love opinions as to if this could this weird mounting style be a result of that or could it be a genuine mounting of something earlier? Thanks for your time and ideas. -J.G.

Hi gays. Can you help me with this yari? I found this on one of online auctions(sorry for bad photos). Seller says that this is "19th century samurai police seisankaku yari". Is this real antiques or not? 55 cm long, blade is 9 cm. Thanks for your help!

Purchased this yari, the seller though it was philippine, as it was brought back by a Spanish officer with 2 other actual philippine spears from philippines in the early 20th (sakoku end?). I'm having troubles translating as there are some rust damage on the tang. Signature is composed by 7 kanji, 2 of them illegible to my eyes , specially the part where the name goes, Any help is appreciated, many thanks,

I acquired this Japanese item and im wandering exactly what kind of yari it is? Possible timeline of when it was made? And its value. I am open to offers as well. The only identifying marks are 5 notches in its tang.

Akemashite Omedetou Gozaimasu (Happy New Year!) Well, it has been quite a while since I last checked in, but I’ve made some inroads in the blade markets here in Japan recently. How would you like to have your own personal buyer in Japan ? I am an antique dealer selling on eBay as araki0726 (check my excellent feedback!) as well as to an ever growing list of direct mail clients all over the world (many of them Nihonto Message Board members). You can also find me on Facebook: Japanese Antique Auctions: https://www.facebook.com/Japanese.antique.auctions. I am not an authority on blades, but I do specialize in Samurai armor, and I can help you find what you need. Much better selection and less competition! I send out offers twice a week. I’m afraid I do not check in here often, so by all means mail me at schmidt_araki@ybb.ne.jp or through my ebay or Facebook pages. Yoroshiku. Kelly Schmidt

Hey all, this is my first post here on NMB. I bought this yari (blade length is approximately 6" and from what I understand, it is a ryo-shinogi yari) recently at a flea market. I am an amateur when it comes to collecting, and was hoping that the forum could offer some insight into what exactly I have got here. The dealer was not completely certain about the piece's origin, just that it is likely Edo period. More informed speculation is much appreciated, anything that may offer some insight into the yari. I have attached some pictures, hopefully they help. Thanks for all input! R.B.
