L_Pan Posted June 15, 2024 Report Posted June 15, 2024 Type : Katana Nagako : Ubu Mei (Signature) : Mumei - Attributed to Kaneharu Papered or not and by whom? : NBTHK Hozon Paper Era/Age : Late Muromachi Shirasaya, Koshirae or Bare Blade? : Shirasaya Nagasa/Blade Length : 69.5 cm Sori : 2.4 cm Hamon Type : Gunome and Notare Jihada : Itame with Nagare Other Hataraki Visible : Sunagashi Flaws : Just a little bit ware (surface lamination), almost unnoticeable Sword Location : Canada Will ship to : World-wide (Countries without restrictions) Payment Methods Accepted : PayPal (F&F, preferred), Bank Wire, or E-Transfer (Canada) Price and Currency : $4250 USD or best offers Other Info and Full Description : This is one of the healthiest Late Muromachi Mino Katana one can get. If you look at the pictures of the moto-kasane and hamachi, you will notice that there are absolutely no signs of togiberi (reshaping) at all, and there is some ubu-ba (un-sharpened area around the hamachi) left too. The sword is attributed to Kaneharu, one of the well-known smiths from the Seki School. Although Ubu, it is unfortunately Mumei. If signed, this would be a magnificent piece. The Shinogi of this sword has average height. It is quite heavy for how thin it looks compared to most Seki swords. Overall old polish with slight stain and surface rust around the hamachi where the habaki sits. A must-get for Mino collectors. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or wish for more photos. Free shipping in USA and Canada. Other countries depends on final shipping quote. Quote
