Searching For Dotanuki School

[vajo]

I search for a Dotanuki school blade. Most likely katana.

Period and smith is not important.

 

Thanks

I recieved from Grey Doffin (www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com) today a very, very nice Dotanuki Katana with Hozon. All aspects of the deal was a pleasure for me. Thank you very much Grey.

 

I will collect further Dotanuki blades, if someone want to make me happy    (I like that school very much).

 

Regards

Chris

Congrats Chris!

 

The term hinaburu fuzei (鄙ブル 風情) comes to my mind looking at your new sword.

Lovely blade! Please tell us about it!

Hi Rob,

thank you for your kind words. 

 

It is a mumei o-suriage higo dotanuki blade around genki period with hozon papered.

The nagasa is 70.5 cm with a wide o-kissaki, the blade has a broad mihada.

The hamon ist suguha and gunome. Very nice cut hiromono and bo-hi on both sides, bonji fudo myoo and a so-no kurikara dragon around a ken.

The blade is very powerfull, with a gold plated ganseki habaki. The blade is stored in a old shirasaya with sayagaki.

 

I'm very proud to have this nice sword. Thanks again to Grey.
