Original Description:
This antique Japanese saw or nokogiri was made over a century ago by the famous Japanese master blade maker,   Kiryu Tokichiro.  It is a professional grade timber saw and has various inscriptions (see pictures 4, 5, 9, & 11 enlarged).   It is the type of timber saw used in woodworking and Japanese carpentry that cuts on the pull stroke, unlike European saws which cut on the push stroke. This allows it to have a thinner blade  that cuts m...ore efficiently and leaves a narrower cut width (kerf)(see picture 9). Made of a high quality laminated carbon steel and carefully milled by hand by the Japanese master blade maker,   Kiryu Tokichiro (see pictures 4 & 5). 
This professional grade timber nokogiri cross cut saw has a couple shortened teeth (see pictures 6 & 7) and along with a dark aged patina, with the exception of a few shortened teeth (see pictures 6 & 7) it remains overall in very good condition throughout, as seen in the enlarged pictures. Most teeth are complete and still in sharp condition. A rare piece of character and quality from a century past. The thickness of this blade helped to create a straight "rip" cut either cross cut or down the length of a log. 
This type of saw required an especially powerful kobiki-shokunin (sawyer) as seen in the 1830's Hokusai woodblock print in the last picture (not included). Measures 39 1/4" overall (99.5 cm). With a blade length (teeth area) of 25 1/2" long by 6" wide (65 x  15 cm). Old world craftsmanship for the new world craftsman! Its sugi (cryptomeria) wood handle is still in great shape and has a warm aged patina.
