Hi All,

Recieved this wakizashi  tsuka recently and would like a little help in identifying some aspects of what it is .

First of i would like to add that i buy items like this because they appeal but in this case the mei on the fuchi and being silver helped.

Plus the workmanship was a little different

 

The sellers translation is :

 

Seki Tamenao Hijikata

Bunsen 12 Tsuchioto shu-jitsu

 

Nagasato Mitsutoki (No ) chu with Kao

 

So my understanding is in the  Autumn of 1829 , Tamenao Hijikata made this while residing in Seki.

With help or input from Nagasato Mitsutoki.

 

I can find examples of Hijikata's work mainly tsuba but any info on Mitsutoki eludes me.

 

Any info or help would be very much appreciated.

Regards

Chris NZ
