Item Details
Description
  • Item: Antique Japanese Sword - Katana by Tsuguhiro 1658 with NTHK-NPO Authentication Papers
  • Origin: Japan
  • Date/Period: 1658
  • Dimensions: Nagasha 25 1/2

    Up for Auction is a one of a kind Antique Japanese Katana which has a complete Sayagaki Kanshi (Chinese poem) in Kanti on the Shirasaya. The sword itself is an outstanding Katana with a nagasha measuring 25 ½ inches (kissaki to habaki). The hamon is beautiful and bright and is visible as the sword is in excellent old polish. The nakago is unsigned with three mekugi holes. This sword does come with authentication papers issued by the NTHK-NPO from Japan attributing the sword to the swordsmith Omi No Kami Fujiwara Tsuguhiro. This swordsmith is rated Chu-jo-saku and his swords have been rated Wazamoro for their excellent cutting ability. He is a top rated smith with swords that have gone Juyo. What makes this sword unique is that the shirasaya contains a full Chinese Poem in Kanji which is called a Kanshi. The Kanshi was originally written by Guo Zhen and is titled (in English – “Ode to the Precious Sword”), a translation of the Sayagaki is included with the authentication papers. This type of work is very difficult to do and the original owner of this sword must have been very proud of it to commission such a rare and probably very expensive Sayagaki for his sword. An extremely rare piece of Japanese Art.
