Hozon Jumyo Shinto Katana with Beautiful Handachi Koshirae


PNSSHOGUN

Recommended Posts

Little sad to move this on but for sale is a fine long Ubu Mumei Katana with Bo-Hi with NBTHK Hozon attribution to the Jumyo school. A very elegant blade with plenty of activity in the Hamon, the polish is excellent as well. It comes with a beautiful Edo period Handachi Koshirae with Wakasa Lacquer Saya, not quite sure what the fittings are made of, maybe Shakudo but it reminds me more of a rich gun bluing. Regardless the photos tell the story and this sword has entertained me for years but time to move it to another good home.

EDIT: Shugyosha was kind enough to inform me the Hozon attribution is in reality to Jumyo, not Bungo Takada.

Guys, this is not some cobbled together koshirae. It is a high quality item, manufactured by several artisans and very time-consuming and expensive to make.

I dare say that the koshirae alone is almost worth the asking price. A splendid set.
