Description: I BUY SWORDS ANDWHOLE COLLECTIONS!CONTACTUS with any questions! 804 23 9 549 0Item Description:I am pleased to offer this original and old hand-made Japanesesword, or Nihonto, brought back fromWWII.... The blade represents the rare opportunity to own a historic Koto wakizashi from the 1500’s by the famousswordsmith Bishu Sukesada. The blade is in Near MINT condition and the mountings are in Excellentcondition. The sword has a blade length of 17.5 inches (45cm). The sword iswell-constructed showing an itamehada that mixes with a burl mokumehada. The hamon is a Bizen-style chojimidare with small gunome mixedin. The hamon is present the length of the blade through the kissaki where it ends in a midare boshi that has some hakikake.There are activities like sunagashiand ashi in and along the hamon.The tang is signed BishuOsafune Sukesada and dated Daiei Ni NenHachi Gatsu Hi, or a day in Fall, 1522. Bishu Sukesada reflects a long line of smiths working in Bizenprovice from ca. 1500-1870 that are well-known and respected. They were knownfor making many swords to supply sides in the Japanese civil wars of the 1500s.This looks to be a generation from the height of Sukesada workmanship, but I can notconfirm which specific generation and a Shinsa would need to weigh in as finalauthority. The blade comes in original high-quality Samurai mountings. They are in Excellent condition. Thetsuka has a silk ito wrapping. There is some light fraying at the top andevidence of a small repair. The tsuba is shakudowith two seppas. The saya (scabbard) is a high quality lacquered black with a rareand desirable painting on thesaya in maki-e lacquer technique. Itis in Near MINT condition and theworkmanship on the painting, of fruits and butterflies, is outstanding.It shows some scratches and a few small areas of missing finish, retaining ~97-98% original finish. Thesaya also has a kozuka utility knife. The blade is in Near MINT condition. It shows no nicks, very few scattered small spots of rust, and a few small scratches along its length. There areno major flaws like hagire.Given the age of the sword, the workmanship, high-quality mounts, andoutstanding condition, I highly recommend this sword for a collector ofJapanese swords or WWII militaria.Terms andadditional items: This item is original and not a knockoff or fake.
