Kashu Sanekage is thought to have been the student of the master swordsmith Norishige. This Naginatanaoshi has an absolutely stunning hamon, with a beautiful layered hataraki, and jihada, mainly comprising out itame with some masame patterns. This naginatanaoshi has a wide mihaba, which is typical for naginatanaoshi made in this period. I believe this sword dates to around the Joji era (1362) within the active period of Kashu Sanekage. The sword has some kitae-ware in the hamon, and shinogi-ji. The overall sword is a great study example, which shows clear influence taken from Norishige. The images do not do the overall hamon activity justice, it is a wonderful piece.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Token Oranda","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57837716603263,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1014\/4435\/4431\/files\/Overview_3e8183e7-146f-4ac1-9cc3-2d1470b1c33e.png?v=1782416817","url":"https:\/\/tokenoranda.com\/products\/sold-out-mumei-kashu-sanekage-naginatanaoshi-nbthk-tokubetsu-hozon-nanbokucho-period-14th-century","provider":"Token Oranda","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
