Shintō Period Wakizashi with Powerful Big Notare Hamon

Signature: Echizen Ju Nobuyoshi

 

This is an attractive Shintō period wakizashi showing a bold and highly active temper line. The blade carries a large, flowing notare hamon, formed in thick nie-deki, giving the sword a strong visual presence and a lively appearance.

 

The hamon is one of the main highlights of this blade. It is full of movement and internal activity. There is abundant nie throughout, with clear sunagashi sweeping through the hamon and fine kinsuji appearing. These activities give the blade real depth when viewed under good light, rewarding close study from different angles.

 

The jigane is also very pleasing, showing an itame mixed with mokume hada, creating a natural wood-grain texture across the surface. Within the steel, there are visible ji-nie and areas of chikei, adding further character and showing the quality of the forging. The combination of active hamon and interesting hada makes this wakizashi much more engaging than a simple or ordinary Shintō blade.

 

Overall, this is a very appealing wakizashi for collectors who enjoy blades with strong activity, visible workmanship, and a hamon that has real personality.

The thick nie-deki big notare, together with sunagashi, kinsuji, ji-nie and chikei, gives the sword a powerful and refined appearance that can be appreciated both as a collectible piece and as a study blade.

With reference to the replies now moved elsewhere:

Guys, this is NOT the place for this, and it sets a really bad precedent.
I do not want this sort of thing happening in sales posts, if we allow it then it becomes a free for all.
That said, we are here to protect the community and also cannot just ignore it when sellers or buyers have an issue, and they need to hash it out with right of reply and people can make up their own minds.
I have a Catch 22 here. Allow it and open the forum for fights on every sale post, or delete it completely and then we are not looking out for the community.
So I am going to take the middle ground and continue with the policy of not allowing this sort of thing in sales posts. BUT I am shortly going to split this into a new thread and put it in the Sales/Sellers section, where people can discuss good and bad deals with sellers. I hope everyone understands that is best compromise I can come to right now.
Shortly this will be moved, and will formulate a title there where seller/buyer can discuss this and lay out their case.
