NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Ko-Naminohira naginatanaoshi katana

[Ray Singer]

Listing a high-quality early Satsuma blade with Tokubetsu Hozon kanteisho to Ko-Naminohira. This attribution generally ranges from Kamakura period to Nanbokucho, (Ko-Naminohira extends back as early as Heian, though this is not a Heian blade). The hamon has a lot of fine hataraki like kinsuji and small ashi. The hamon is very Yamato-like and greatly resembles Ko-Senjuin. The blade is a naginatanaoshi katana, with a great shape that appears ubu, or mostly ubu, on the upper portion (while the nakago is o-suriage mumei). In shirasaya with silver foil habaki and current NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon kanteisho.
