Ubu Tachi

[Tengu1957]

Ubu Tachi 

This is an Ubu Tachi from the end of the Nambokucho or early Oei. 
78.75 cm in length. The sori on this really shows what the O Suriage Tachi looked like before being shortened. It is suggested it may be early Uda or Kai Mihara school , it is unpapered and in old polish and Shira saya
I am learning lot from this piece. 

Many thanks to Mike Yamasaki for selling this to me.

That is very nice sword Gary. Qualitywise it might not be par with the other awesome items you have but for me size & shape are important and I like this one a lot.

Jussi ,  thank you. It just gives a different feel in hand for what all of the O Suriage swords must have been like as Ubu. I don't take very good photos  buts it's better than it looks here. I will be interested to see what it will paper to.
