Description
Immerse yourself in the legacy of this extraordinary Wakizashi, a testament to the artistry of Kouto Jyu Jyumyo during the late Edo period (18th-mid 19th century). Authenticated by the prestigious NBTHK, this sword carries the esteemed Tokubetsu Hozon Certificate, a testament to its authenticity and exceptional quality. Historical Significance: Crafted during the shin shin to era, a period marked by innovation and refinement, this Wakizashi bears the signature of Kouto Jyu Jyumyo. The term “Kouto” holds a profound meaning as the city of the emperor, indicating that Jyumyo lived in Kyoto, the residence of the Emperor of Japan during the forging of this blade. Authenticity and Certification: Endorsed by the NBTHK, this Wakizashi holds the rare Tokubetsu Hozon Certificate, reserved for Japanese swords of unparalleled quality and artistic value. This certification authenticates the blade’s origin, preservation, and artistic merit. Insights into the Blade: Originating from Yamashiro Province, now known as Kyoto, the Wakizashi features a cutting edge length of 30.6 cm and a subtle curvature of 1.1 cm, characteristic of the late Edo period’s Shin Shin To style. JYUMYO School and MINO-DEN Style: The JYUMYO school traces its roots to Yamato and later moved to Mino Province during the Kamakura period. With a name signifying longevity, JYUMYO swords were revered as cherished gifts among Samurai families. The MINO-DEN style, known for its TOGARI and distinctive temper line, originated in Yamato-DEN, flourishing from the late Kamakura to the Edo period. Legacy of MINO-DEN in Sengoku Jidai: MINO-DEN’s popularity surged during the Sengoku Jidai, fueled by the high demand for weapons. Feudal lords in Mino Province, including Akechi Mitsuhide, Nobunaga Oda, and Tokugawa Ieyasu, sought these practical and sharp blades. The tradition continued into the Edo period, with JYUMYO school members venturing across Japan for better opportunities. Embark on a journey through time with this meticulously preserved Wakizashi, a masterpiece embodying the rich traditions of Japanese swordsmithing. Acquire a piece of history and elevate your collection with this authentic and remarkable blade.
