Ray Singer Posted June 16, 2020 Report Posted June 16, 2020 Listing a massively healthy and wonderful naginatanaoshi which the NTHK has attributed to Bizen Tadamitsu. The sword has a substantial weight, with a kasane of over 8mm and the ji is completely flawless. The jihada is a fine ko-itame with ji-nie and utsuri. The hamon ranges from a gonome choji in the lower to a very wide gonome midare in the monouchi. The sugata is quite beautiful, and this was originally a much longer naginata in addition to being osuriage. In shirasaya with a gold and silver foil habaki. Nagasa: 45.4cm Motohaba: 2.8cm Sakihaba: 2.2cm Kasane: 0.85cm $6,500 (plus shipping and PayPal).
Ken-Hawaii Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 That's quite lovely, Ray. About as Bizen as you can get.
AndyMcK Posted June 17, 2020 Report Posted June 17, 2020 Just beautiful Ray, like always. No wonder I hardly get any savings done... -Antti
