Ayanakoji Sueyuki (NBTHK), katana 70cm, Kamakura period

Recommended Posts

70cm nagasa, some (minor in shinogi-ji,as pictured) ware but overall the work is clean and in a good condition for Kamakura period. Different books give different dates for Ayanokoji Sueyuki, circa 1270 being one of the possibilities here.

LOTS of activity. midare utsuri, chouji in ko nie with plenty of sunagashi, tobiyaki etc. Jigane has a strong white hue, mostly itame. You will not find another at the same price.

11K USD.

 

I was way too lazy not selling some of the items until yen collapsed... Now they have to be downpriced accordingly.

Full or partial trade is of interest, but interested only in "interesting" items.

Will be selling it at SF sword show, please see my table.

 

 

All blades have habaki, shirasaya, sword bag.

The work is very tight and clean, but there is always one week inspection period to make sure.

Discounter to 9.5K USD.

P.S. I finally figured out Fujishiro's pictures trick.

These photographs are much more representative; first is how 80% of the blade looks like, the second one is the most problematic portion with ware in shinogi ji and overall being sort of rough.
