Sanjō Munechika

[Toukenan]

Sanjō Munechika

He was a swordsmith in the Heian period and lived in Sanjō in Yamashiro Province so he is called Sanjo Munechika.
He is well known as a representative master swordsmith of the period when Japanese swords changed from straight swords to curved swords.
Mikazuki Munechika, which is a national treasure, and Kogitsunemaru, which is handed down at Ishikiri Shrine, are very famous works by Munechika, so I'm sure you've heard of them at least once.
Since Munechika's work is extremely rare, it is one of the most valuable swords among the swords introduced so far.
The highlight of this work is...EVERYTHING!
Not only the appearance of the Jihada, but also the appearance of the Nioikuchi, the style of the whole body, and the appearance of the Nakago, everything is a wonderful shot.
Anyway, please enjoy the graceful Munechika! !
