  1. Wakizashi hirazukuri with unusual bo-hi signed “Nanto-jū Kanabō Hyōe no Jō Masatsugu” (南都住金房兵衛尉政次) in shirasaya. Hamon is a suguha-based midare with a narrow but bright nioiguchi with sunagashi and a nice nijuba on one side. Hada is a standing out itame that shows also a shirake utsuri. Dimensions are: Nagasa 39.0cm Sori 0.8cm Motohaba 31.3mm Motokasane 7.2mm Kanabo school was based in Nara during late Muromachi, they were renowed for being really effective in battle and especially famous for their yari. According my studies this should be the work of the shodai: MASATSUGU (政次), Tenbun (天文, 1532-1555), Yamato – “Nanto-jū Kanabō Hyōe no Jō Masatsugu” (南都住金房兵衛尉政次), “Nanto Kanabō Hyōe no Jō Masatsugu” (南都金房兵衛尉政次), Kanabō school, we know blades from the Tenbun to the Kōji era (弘治, 1555-1558), robust sugata with a wide mihaba, a thick kasane, and an elongated kissaki, rather standing-out itame mixed with masame and ji-nie, hiro-suguha, ko-midare or gunome-midare with compact nioiguchi, in addition ashi and yō, some blades show fine and elaborate horimono in the hitsu, chū-saku There are some small openings and some scratch, but nothing too bothering. On the mune there are several kirikomi. SOLD Please note that i prefer shipping within the EU, shipping outside EU is still possible but might cost extra as i will need to have it shipped from another location.

  3. NBTHK Hozon certificate doesn't attest anything about the quality of a blade, it just says that it's an authentic nihonto, there are not fatal flaws (unless is an important example or historically valuable piece) and that the signature, if there's one, it's not fake. Upper levels like Tokubetsu Hozon are also evaluating the conditions of the blade itself.

  10. The tsuba is now for sale https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/47204-2023-nbthk-competition-nyusen-awarded-akasaka-tsuba/
  11. This tsuba was submitted in "2023 Modern Sword Craftsmanship Exhibition" (2023年度現代刀職展審) and was awarded Nyusen 7th place (入選七席). There's already a post talking about it here https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/45392-my-first-attempt-at-nbthk-newly-made-tsuba-contest-2023/ The tsuba is an utsushi of an Akasaka tsuba (https://www.touken-w...-guard/art0000971-1/) which captivated me with its elegant and flowing design. It represents a torii over a stream of water, which in the case of my tsuba i recognized as the torii over water in Kashima Shrine: https://diversity-fi...majingu6-768x512.jpg Incidentally i found a similar tsuba at last DTI and had the chance to compare it directly with mine. The tsuba dimensions are 75x76 mm and it's 5 mm thick It will come with a box with pillow and hakogaki by me, a tsuba bag and a copy of the diploma from NBTHK. Price is 600€ plus shipping and Paypal fees.
