Description
Katana by Dewa Daijo KunimichiThis is a long and slender Katana by this well known smith.Condition of the blade is sound and the polish is old, but good.Shape ist typical Kanei aera, this is transitional between Keicho Shinto and Kanbun Shinto. The Sayagaki by Kanzan Sato dates the sword to Kanei (1624-1644) period.The blade is accompanied by its Tokubetsu Kicho Token Kanteisho,dated 1967.Data:Nagasa = 72,4 cm (28 1/2 Inch)Sori = 1,3 cmSakihaba = 1,95 cmMotohaba = 3,0 cmNakago nagasa = 17,5 cmFeatures: The jihada is a finely forged dense itame-mokume hada. Horikawa hada is expected to be a little rough zanguri hada, but there is only one small area, which may be called *less fine* rather than rough. You can see it at the katana omote just a thumb down from the yokote.The nioiguchi is vivid and very broad with evenly distributed nie. There are tobiyaki in the ji.The o-midare hamon almost reaches the shinogi in places.You will find a good amount of very fine kinsuji within the hamon.Carefully examining the nakago and checking their measurements, I think it is ubu and the lower mekugi ana was added not much later.This katana shows very well the distinct style of the matured Kunimichi: perfect hada, perfect distributed nie and incredible fine kinsuji.International shipping needs to pay actual cost.
