Ray Singer Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 Listing another from the recently consigned collection. This is a wakizashi which has been attributed to the Oei Nobukuni smith Saemon-no-jō Nobukuni. He worked in the early Muromachi period circa Oei (1394). https://nihontoclub.com/smiths/NOB309 The hamon on this one is just spectacular. It has an extremely bright gonome midare hamon with a river of sunagashi running though middle (like Naoe Shizu, which also exhibits this type of activity). The attribution to Saemon-no-jō comes from the NTHK. Dimensions for this sword are below. Nagasa: 38cm Moto-haba: 29cm Saki-haba: 26cm Mekugi-ana: 3 Kasane: 5cm Best regards, Ray 7 Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted January 29, 2019 Report Posted January 29, 2019 Sunagashi or kinsuji? Almost wish that I hadn't bought my last blade so I'd still have some funds for this one. 1 Quote
