About the Item

Early Edo period (1615-1867), 17th century ?NBTHK hozon Token to Ise Daijo Yoshihiro Measures: Nagasa [length] 71.2 cm Sori [curvature] 1.8 cm Motohaba 3.15 cm Sakihaba 2.3 cm Kasane [thickness] 8 mm Sugata [configuration] Shinogi-zukuri with deep sori and elongated chu-kissaki Kitae [forging pattern] Ko-itame hada with jinie ?Hamon [tempering pattern] Suguha in nie-deki Boshi [point] ko-maru with long kaeri ?Nakago [tang] Ubu, two mekugi-ana, kiri-yasurime, kengyo-jiri Origami [certificate] The blade comes with a Hozon Token (Sword Worth of Preserving) certificate issued by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai. The koshirae comes with a Tokubetsu Kicho Tosogu certificate issued by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai. Koshirae [mount] The sword is accompanied by a good antique koshirae with high level fittings. The first generation Ise Daijo Yoshihiro was a student of the first generation Tadayoshi, working between 1650 and 1660, while the second generation worked in the latter part of the 17th century. Both smiths are rated “Jo Saku” by Fujishiro and are found in the 50 smiths “Ryowazamono” list for sharpness due to the excellent cutting ability of their blades. The Hizen school was one of the glorious successes of the Shinto period. It was founded by Hashimoto Shinsaemonjo, who took on the art name of Tadayoshi, under the sponsorship of the daimyo Nabeshima Naoshige. The Tadayoshi style is based on the work of Yamashiro Rai, and swiftly gained and maintained a reputation for high quality swords, both beautiful and practical with excellent cutting ability. This sword is a perfect example of a mainline Hizen sword from the Tadayoshi School, with a suguha temper-line and a fine ko-Itame hada. Ise Daijo Yoshihiro worked very close with OMI Daijo Tadahiro and there are examples of collaboration works (gassaku) by these two smiths.
