It’s previous paper is NPO NTHK Yushu-to as Den Yamato Shizu ( Kemmu ).

Its a mumei. So they given the Den.

I have one which im clueless till now .

The result is here, the paper will take a month or so.

This is the result, paper should be back in a month.

Mine one recently went through hozon/tokubetsu hozon as Mumei Shodai Nobukubi.

I’m a bit hesitated to go for Juyo. I might put it up as consignment for now. Just not the right time for me

The Saya couldn’t be made in time before the Shinsa , so they sent it off for Shinsa and continue once it back. Which is about now. But i’m not sure about going for Juyo. Seem like another year at least.

It passed Hozon and Tokubetsu Hozon attributed as 1st Generation Nobukuni.

Hi, i got the result back. It passed Hozon and Tokubetsu Hozon and attributed as 1st generation Nobukuni. Dealer said it possibly to go for Juyo certificate. what do you think of the unexpected result?

Tried on my Nobukuni and the Kinmichi

The LED work great on everything else but the hamon. I need to work on better lighting then.

I tried but seem impossible to take photo of tha hamon.

I know this is old topic. How did i do ?

Yes it’s gold foiled, the top is peeled . Previous photo you can clearly see a thin layer of gold from the bottom. it’s delivered like this so im trying to prevent or clean it up the right way.

Hi, I’m a bit concerned about this habaki. Its a gold foiled one. The inside seem to developed this but I’m not sure its rust or just normal patina for antique Habakai .

My hands are long lol . The blade indeed very balanced.

Usa Ju Nobukuni Newest sword in my collection. And yes, almost sliced my hand off coming out of the box. Haven’t had the chance to study it in depth yet, but here are some specs: Nagasa: 75.4 cm Sori: 2.8 cm Motohaba: 3.02 cm Sakihaba: 1.93 cm Motogasane: 0.67 cm Sakigasane: 0.43 cm Weight: 681 grams Signed “Usa Ju Nobukuni – August Day”（宇佐住信国 八月日）, this katana was forged in the Tenshō era (1570s–80s), during a time of great upheaval that culminated in the infamous Honnō-ji Incident. It was made in the final days of the Buzen Nobukuni school, just before they left Usa after their patrons, the Ajimu clan, were overthrown by Ōtomo Sōrin in 1582. The smiths later continued under Kuroda Nagamasa in Chikuzen, forming the Chikuzen Nobukuni lineage.

Yes still in Japan, i’m getting a Koshirae made and shinsa after that. Im just curious about the outcome.

This is the best they have

Hi Gerry, which one in Gifu can you share with me ?
