Ray Singer Posted November 5, 2018 Report Posted November 5, 2018 Listing a very beautiful ubu signed Shinto katana by the Shitahara smith Yasushige. The blade is signed 武州下原住山本内紀康重 - Bushū Shimohara ju Yamamoto Naiki Yasushige. This smith worked around Kanei (1624-1644). He was the third generation of the Shitahara Yasushige line and was raked Jo-saku. https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/YAS915 This smith has a very nice Soshu-style hamon in nei-deki, with some kinsuji and sunagashi. The jihada is itame mixed with mokume (typical of Shitahara) and is quite beautiful. The blade measures 68.8cm, with a 3cm moto-haba and 6mm kasane. It is in polish with a solid silver 1-piece habaki and shirasaya. The signature has been verified with NBTHK Hozon. 9 Quote
vajo Posted November 7, 2018 Report Posted November 7, 2018 It is allways a pleasure to read and look on offers from Ray. But it is allways pain to have to less money in the bag. Very nice blade and offer Ray. 2 Quote

Jacques Posted January 15, 2019 Report Posted January 15, 2019 I'm sorry and maybe wrong but it seems there is no Yasushige rated Jo saku by Fujishiro. Quote
Ray Singer Posted January 15, 2019 Author Report Posted January 15, 2019 Yes, it appears that the Nihonto Club entry in my first post has the incorrect Fujishiro rating. He is in Chu-jo saku. Quote
