This piece, a collaboration between Yoshimasa and his master Matsuba Kunimasa, is an authentic wakizashi with a slightly shorter blade. The size of this wakizashi was made with the idea that it would be carried by a samurai in a set of dai-sho. It is made with a balanced loose and steep burnishing of small and medium waves of hamon on a grained hada, which is his master's specialty. In the ha, stunning gunomes and choji make their presence felt.

Tomioka Yoshimasa's Profile

After graduating from the university, he worked for a design company in Tokyo, but since he loved to make things since he was a child, he became an apprentice of Matsuba Kunimasa, a master swordsmith in Miyazaki Prefecture, in 2014. In 2020, his work won both the Newcomer's Award and the Award of Excellence at the same time. Since then, he has won numerous awards in numerous contests and is a young swordsmith with a promising future.
