matthewbrice Posted November 6 Report Posted November 6 1 desirable signed Samurai Jumonji Yari (polearm/spear) available. This fine Jumonji Yari would make an important addition to any collection. This yari has a well-cut signature. It is signed 武州下原住内記康重 Bushu Shitaharaju Naiki Yasushige. Fujishiro ranks Yasushige as a jo saku smith. Yasushige worked from 1624 to 1661 A.D. This yari measures 8" by 5 11/16" (20.3 cm X 14.4 cm). This yari measures 18 3/16" overall (46.2 cm) including the nakago. This jumonji yari has a straight temper line. Condition: The blade is in original Japanese polish. The blade has carbon staining and oxidation. The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy. Note that the nakago at the lower mekugi-ana bends easily. So the nakago needs to be handled carefully. What a beautiful blade. There is not even one ware/opening in the blade. This jumonji yari would polish beautifully. $1775 plus postage (if choosing to pay via Paypal or credit card, add their fee) --Matthew Brice St. Croix Blades Quote
