For Sale: Mumei Sue Mihara Wakizashi in Denchu Koshirae

[RobCarter3]

Hello all,

 

I need to free up some funds for new acquisitions so I'm looking to part with this piece. 

 

I bought this sword from Aoi Art about a year ago.  Mr. Tsuruta attributed the sword to the sue mihara school. The blade is ubu and retains its original nakago.  The hada is a tightly-forged itame and hamon is nie-based suguha with a bright and narrow/tight nioi-guchi.  Shirake utsuri is visible.  The boshi shows hakikake activity.  The blade is in polish and free of notable defects/flaws.  Please look closely at the provided pictures to judge the condition. This wakizashi is mounted in a very nice Edo period koshirae in good condition. 

 

Comes with an oshigata from Aoi Art. 

 

Nagasa: 20.43"/51.9cm

Sori: 0.59"/1.5cm

Motohaba: 1.09"/2.76cm
