Description:

Attributed to the Omiya school by NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers in 2024. This sword is a high-end Omiya katana, with an absolutely stunning gunome-choji hamon with stunning sunagashi that has a beautiful layered look, and stunning jihada, mainly consisting of beautiful mokume patterns but mixed with masame as well. This Omiya katana has a typical Nanbokucho sugata with a wide Moto-haba and a heavy weight, combining that with the size gives a very powerful feeling. The boshi is midare-komi.  I believe this sword dates to around the Joji era (1362) of the Nanbokucho period. The mune has a homare-kizu (honor flaw) close to the kissaki. The homare-kizu does not detract from the overall quality or integrity of the sword's structure and is a testimony to this sword's history. The sword was polished in Japan by a very qualified polisher after shinsa, which leaves the sword in fresh and beautiful polish, ready to enjoy. There was also a new shirasaya made. The original shirasaya is also included. An old sayagaki on the saya records that at a sword appraisal meeting held at Yasukuni Shrine in 1909, the blade was attributed to Motomitsu of the Bizen Kanemitsu school. This attribution is likely not true. But still adds some provenance to this stunning sword. There are nearly no imperfections on this stunning Omiya katana; the forging is tight, but not too tight, which makes sure the stunning patterns within the hamon and ji can be enjoyed thoroughly.
