md02geist Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Excellent large yari in great polish. Mid to late Muromachi. Fantastic hamon. Blade length : 40,5 cm or 15.9 inches. Sori : 0,0 cm or 0,0 inches. Mekugi : 2 Width at Hamachi : 2.49 cm or 0.98 inches. Kasane : 0.90 cm or 0.35 inches. Jigane : Koitame-hada well grained with Jinie deeply attached. Includes Yari, shirasaya, sword bag, NBTHK certificate, Aoi sheet, and Markus Sesko translation of the NBTHK certificate (digital, though I'll print you out one if you'd really like). Asking 1800 obo net via paypal. Price includes shipping and insurance in the continental US. Shipping outside the continental US is available but will add to the price, probably substantially due to length. Please click on the pictures for more info. I am happy to answer any questions one may have, or work with you on payment or price if it's just out of your reach. 1 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Nice yari, Rob. Can't recall seeing tobiyaki on a yari before. Who is the tosho? Quote
md02geist Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 Nice yari, Rob. Can't recall seeing tobiyaki on a yari before. Who is the tosho? Thank you Ken! I haven’t seen one quite like this either. That’s why I picked it up initially to study! It’s judged sue seki with Mei of Kane-?, as they are unable to determine the second character. Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Wow! And they still gave it Hozon origami? Unusual for a Muromachi blade with unreadable mei. Guess they liked it as much as we do. 1 Quote
Gakusee Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Even if the second character is unintelligible, this is considered a signed blade. 1 Quote
md02geist Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Posted February 20, 2018 Gakusee is absolutely correct. The quality of the yari is very high too, it’s far from your typical sankaku. Quote
md02geist Posted February 21, 2018 Author Report Posted February 21, 2018 Please feel free to make me offers. I'm willing to negotiate. Quote
md02geist Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 I’m going to bring this down to 1500. Oshigata included as well, I forgot to mention that. Quote
md02geist Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Sale will now include a donation to NMB Am I priced too high? Make me an offer Quote
