Other Info and Full Description :

This large Omi Yari was made in Mino province by Kanesaki. It has been awarded a Hozon paper by the NBTHK.

Large yari like this were important as functional battlefield weapons and as a way for samurai to display their wealth. The steel has a whitish tint to it, indicative of the steel produced in Mino province in the Muromachi period. The hamon is very healthy and active on all four sides. It features plenty of hataraki to admire and study. There are tobayaki along the spine.

There are small signs of prior rusting, but these spots are all inactive and have been polished and removed by an expert in Japan. Let me know if you have any questions. At this price I don't think this will last long.
