Considering parting ways with my showato. It is immaculately well polished and has an impressively deep sori (~1.7cm) for its relatively short 64.4cm nagasa. The gunome midare hamon is prominent and has many ashi. The nakago is unmarked and the sword is in shirasaya with a copper habaki.


I am considering parting with it simply to clear space in my collection and humbly offer this as an inexpensive entry point to the study and collection of Japanese swords. Though showato are not considered nihonto proper, they are Japanese swords in the literal sense and, I feel, an excellent “jumping off point” to begin one’s sword journey.

 

The sword was purchased from Aoi Art and will ship in its sword bag with an Aoi Art estimation paper and a whole oshigata. Asking 1200 USD shipped in the US, price is negotiable. Including the oshigata and full scan image here, with photos by me to come below.
