Monju Ken Tanto With Nbthk Hozon & Part Koshirae

[TheGermanBastard]

This is a Mumei (I assume Shinto) periode Ken tanto that was attributed to Monju School by the NBTHK and warded Hozon Token. There were some good smithes in Monju school and it orignates from Yamato tradition.

 

The blade is in full Japanese polish, has gold washed Habaki and Japanese made Honoki Shirasaya. It has a lot of activity. There is one Ware near the tip.

 

Also it comes with  a partial Koshirae that consists of a Saya, Tsuka and Tsunag. No fittings.

 

Price is SOLD

Oh, I read your title & thought that the koshirae had Hozon. Glad the photo clarified that. First ken I've seen with tsunagi & koshirae - nice! Do you have dimensions? Yours looks longer than mine.

Hello Ken, there is a folding stick in some of the images given the blades dimensions in cm .. and they are also written down in the Hozon paper. The Koshirae had gold plated modern made fittings. I did not like them and intended to get the Koshirae redone with Edio periode ones but never got around that.

Oops! Sorry - I missed the full-length shot with the stick. Mine is within a cm of being the same size, but yours sure looks larger.
