It Seems There Is A Bug In The Description

BTW, fine blade but the chirimen hada is far from being the typical one. The best one I have seen so far is in Paul B collection.

I was looking at this last night. I am not a fan of flashy koshirae. I’d sell the koshirae, I wonder how much of the cost could be recouped? A sword like this seems perfectly elegant in shirasaya.

Description is talking about Naginata Naoshi shortened plus late horimono...

 

Itomaki no tachi is part of the price and is much sought after.

I agree with Jean - this is actually a very good koshirae and these are expensive. To buy or make it today one should set aside $10k+ is what I have been told.

I wonder whether the issues Jean is referring to about the hada are not due to tiredness of the blade and also sumi areas. Aoe hada should be better than this.

 

And let us not even go into the old text left over from an Aoe naginata naoshi which had been shaved to create an yakizume boshi etc. Aoi seems to be forgetting to redact out old text so often these days.....

Yes Michael. Should the blade have been better, I would have had a go, because of the blade length and the koshirae. I would say, if we compare the different Aoe juyo sold by Aoi Art, the koshirae price is worth between 1,5 and 2 million ¥
