Uchi ne
Signed Musashi No Kami Kanenaka
Circa 1650
Tokugawa Mon on both sides , one Mon light and the other side dark
An odd weapon , some have a notch like an arrow. Some have a cord , this one is not notched but has feathers. 
In a presentation box , I'm not sure of the entire translation but it has a Showa date. 
I have read that during the Edo period many high ranking Samurai rode in Kago or planequin. It was tight inside and even a wakizashi could not be drawn easily. This could be used in tight spaces or thrown at an attacker to gain a moment to draw their swords. It's a well made Yari , this is the first one I have owned. 

Many thanks to Mike Yamasaki for selling this to me.
