My first Nihonto

Recommended Posts

Hi all I thought I post up few photos of my first sword I got back in February. 

I had read few books, but wanted a blade with history attached. 

 

It's a late muromachi 1527 hozon papered blade from Mino senjuin school by Kanesaki. 

 

What attracted me to the blade was price and it being a Koto era sword. Also the history of the sengoku jidai and that this blade was one of many produced for the war effort. 

 

However it is o suriage and mumei. 

Koshiare was meiji era, but the blade had been polished not too long ago. 

 

It has sashikomi polish and sanbunsugi hamon / togari gunome. 

 

As it was my first sword,  I ensured it was papered and some history to it. I dont ever plan to sell the blade, probably will get new  koshiare made for it at some point. 

It has nice jigane , jinie and hada, which my camera fails to get with current photos. 

 

I personally love the blade. And it was my first ever purchase in this new hobby of mine.

 

Regards 

 

Paz

Of course, you will take better pictures of the details of the blade right? RIGHT?! :glee:

I will do the lighting wasn't great. Capturing the detail can be the most annoying aspect lol
