Hamon

[Jacques]

Could you describe this hamon ?

[Gakusee]

Shallow notare midare with kuichigaiba 

[Ken-Hawaii]

Yes, & midare is almost too shallow. Hard to tell if it's carefully-controlled, or the victim of too many polishes. Have to see the blade in-hand. Boshi is midare-komi with hakikake.

[Toryu2020]

I would be inclined to say gunome midare becoming a thin sugu-ha in the monouchi with kuichigai, Kinsuji? and Uchinoke, Komaru Boshi with long kaeri. Shintogo Kunihiro?

Totally uneducated guess

The purpose of this exercise is the reading of the hamon, no need to quote a swordsmith.

After the first 2 accurate descriptions I find it pointless to repeat the same thing but true, the question was a description of the hamon.. rookies, you know

It's about describing what you see, not repeating what others say; in fact, you shouldn't even read them.

Tough to skip something in front of the eyes though right?... but because I read them I learned a new term so 👍

Not a lot of daring, however, there is only knowledge to gain.

[NewB]

Cheers to that!

Ok, I have to admit I wasn't expecting a lot of responses. Thanks to those who dared.

Here is the description made by the NBTHK (it was a kantei sword). Words in brackets are mine.

Hamon : The lower half bases on a notare mixed with gunome which turns toward the tip to a hoso-suguha-chö with some ko-notare, in addition many ko-nie (not visible), kinsuji and sunagashi, also some yubashiri appear on the lower half.

I can't help to wonder whether the school is mentioned..

 

Thank you for posting
