Hi there,

 

This is my first message on this forum which is a very useful to obtain informations and knowledge about Nihonto.

I have purchased my first Japanese from Aoi-Art (good shop, nice communiation) and even if there is some Ware on the blade, I love it :)

Thank you for our comments :)

To avoid paraphrasize Aoi Art's appreciation, I past the description of the product

 

Katana in Koshirae(NBTHK Tokubetsu Kicho Paper)

 

Signature: Mumei(Unsigned)(Jakushu Fuyuhiro)

(Shinto: Aki : Chujo saku)

 

The blade was polished.

Blade length : 66.2 cm or 26.06 inches.

Sori : 1.8 cm or 0.70 inches.

Mekugi: 4

Width at the hamachi : 2.98 cm or 1.17 inches.

Width at the Kissaki : 2.17 cm or 0.85 inches.

Kasane : 0.76 cm or 0.29 inches.

Era : Edo period. Around Kanbun era.

Shape : The blade is rather wide and thick with Sori and longer kissaki. Both sides of the blade has Bo-Hi and Soehi.

Jitetsu : Itame works very well with Jinie and Chikei attach. This is blackish Jigane.

Hamon : Niedeki suguha with Notare and Ko-gunome midaire mix. Boshi is midarekomi-kaeri style.

 

Special feature : This Mumei blade was appraised as Jakushu Fuyuhiro by NBTHK. The Fuyuhiro moved Hiroshima prefecture by Fukushima Family. And Fuyuhiro continued some generations until end of Edo Period(9th generation).

This blade is good shape and nice Jigane. This Hamon looks like a Yasutsugu.

 

Koshirae :

Tsuba : On the round shape iron Tsuba, Sukashi is engraved.

Fuchikashira :On the iron, Nozaeashi with silver inlay.

Saya : Black ishime-ji with Kizami Saya.

Menuki : On the Shakudo plate, the flowers are engraved with gold color.

 

I feel it's a simple blade forged to be used, without too much brillant details, may be except the carved Habaki that was a nice surprise when I have handled the sword for the first time.
