Wakizashi - Mumei(No Signature) - Uchigatana Koshirae - Ubu Nakago - Shinto Era - Wakayama 18528
Introducing an affordable, unmarked wakizashi crafted during the Edo period.
The blade is polished overall, though it bears several faint flaws resulting from the forging process. The jigane features a mixed itame and mokume grain pattern, with traces of chikei and yubashiri visible. The hamon is a tight, notare-style nioi-kuchi suguha pattern, incorporating ko-gunome. Hataraki like aranie and kinsen are also present.
The koshirae is also in good condition, featuring a black silk tsukaito wrapped in hineri-maki style, while the scabbard lacquer has a Matsukawa-style finish.
This is a recommended Japanese sword for anyone wishing to own one at an affordable price.
