looking for a healthy papered Katana by the above mentioned smith

nice Peter

Tanto is now sold!

beautyful shaped Ed! Perhaps Tsuguhira? what is your opinion?

blade's polish is 100% and all stuff is mint condition original

i recently introduced this beautiful rare Tanto here on the board. "Holy sword" made at the foot at the mount Iwaki. please read for more information here in the board" Military swords of Japan" Condtion is perfect, everything,(included its silk bag) is original. Paper NTHK Kanteisho. flawless blade with beautiful crafted Horimono Made by Hisakatsu, teacher of the Matetsu forge. SOLD shipping free in Germany don't miss this is a rare opportunity.

early Yasukuni shrine Tanto(prior 1941) were made after Mr. Han's research for the highest officer's rank only on request. only very few in exist today. please refer for example General "Anami Korechika" who killed himself with a Tanto made by Kotani Yasunori san from 1941 the Nihon Tanren Kai manufactered them, (Tanto) for the imperial Navy staff collage, this was because Hori Toshihide had to become ill.

"traditinal made showa Tanto" In my opinion, an area, that has received too little attention,especially when you research, who received this rare Tanto's and for what purposes1 often the highest military ranks!

the Horimono of this particular sword is not ato bori and dates to the blades time of production

the mon on the Tanto's Nakago is called " Chintamani" "Wish Jewel" Hoju-no Tama pearl that fulfills wishes

blade is signed Hisakatsu kore o tsukuru outer box Amakumi shinken "Divine sword Amakumi" outer box inside: showa juichinen jugatsu juichinichi imi-ketsugyo ni yori haitai-su shinzoku takenaka miyuki shirusu presented after rekindling the ritual sanctifying fire,written by tanaka miyuki from the god's race october 11 1936 inne box outside: "holy sword" innerbox inside: Kei-mei Amakumi Iwaki-sanroku no sai-iki ni oite kaji Takeshima Hisakatsu swordsmith Hisakatsu at a ritually purified place at the foot of mount Iwaki

this one is complete housed in two boxes with NTHK Kanteisho,all original with original silk bag

For us here in Europe, the honorable Mr. Han Bing Siong has contrbuted greatly to shedding light on the darkness of the Japanese Military sword.......
