Katana: Shinto Jumyo


Ed

Recommended Posts

The Jumyo Ha  was located in Mino Province, predominantly in the town of Shimizu.  This kaji dates back to the Shoo era c. 1288, known as ko-seki .  The founder or shodai was called Saemonojo and his original kuni is said to have been Yamato Tegai. With such a long lineage, there were numerous smiths who used the name "Jumyo", many being indistinguishable from one another and being papered simply as Jumyo. This kaji or school, relocated to Nagoya in the early part of the Edo period, working for the Owari Tokagawa.
 
This particular Katana has been attributed to, "Shinto Jumyo" per the NBTHK. Shinto Jumyo refers to an individual smith known as, "Mino no Kami Jumyo". Mino no Kami Jumyo worked c. 1661. His works were rated Chujosaku.
 
This Katana is  mumei, and suriage. The superbly forged Hada is a flawless Itame with Mokume mix. It clearly shows Chikei, Ji-nie, Shirake, etc. The gorgeous Hamon is Midare in Nioi with Ko-nie, Ashi, Yo, Nijuba , etc., etc.
 
This sword has perfectly cut Bo-hi and So-hi which adds elegance and grace. This sword  truly must be seen in hand, as it is ten times more beautiful than the photos could ever depict.
