klee Posted March 20 Report Posted March 20 Type : Katana Ubu, Single mekugi ana Mei : Bizen Kuni Ju Osafune Kiyomitsu Saku Ura Mei : cant read fully but a partial Ten kanji and a clear Bun kanji can be seen ( Tenbun ) Papered: NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Shirasaya with Koshirae and sword bag and oshigata Nagasa/Blade Length : 70.0 cm Sori : 2.1 cm Hamon Type : suguha/ notare Jihada : itame/mokume Sword Location : USA Will ship to : USA preferable Payment Methods Accepted : PayPal/Venmo Price and Currency : $6000.00 USD including insurance and shipping for CON-USA I have reluctantly decided to part ways with my beloved Bizen Kiyomitsu katana as my interest has shifted towards Kyushu schools in recent years. Hard to do it justice via photos but the hamon and jigane is stunning with lots of activity. It is quite hard to find Tokubetsu Hozon Sue Bizen and this one is quite one of a kind as well with a massive 845 gram weight, wide 3.3 cm mihaba and thick kassane. The heaviest and thickest sue bizen blade I have yet to see listed personaly. Here are the high res photo in the link and please do not hesitate reach out for any additional photos if you are interested. It was purchased at 950,000 yen at the time so I will be just below breaking even after shipping and insurance. High Res link: https://www.kozmophotography.com/Bizen-Kuni-Ju-Osafune-Kiyomitsu-Saku/n-4Fg5nF This sword is also featured in the Eirakudo gallery of masterpieces https://eirakudo.shop/token/wakizashi/detail/319916 As noted above, the koshirae is included and is the same as the Eirakudo listing . And please note that this blade currently has a light hadori after shiage togi last summer. Thank you everyone - Kevin 1 3 Quote
