Katana - Tamahagane Steel - Fujishima Tomoshige - Japan - Muromachi period (1333-1573)

【Summary】 ・Very well-made Japanese Mumei sword(Katana) made by Fujishima Tomoshige(藤島友重). ・The sword is authenticated by NBTHK(Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai) as "Hozon Token(Special Valuable Sword)". The certificate paper is included in the set. 【About Fujishima Tomoshige(藤島友重)】 ・Fujishima Tomoshige was a student of Rai Kunitoshi(来国俊)and moved to Echizen in the middle of the Kamakura period (1324). The Fujishima family has been a prestigious swordsmith family for 540 years until the end of the Edo period. ・One of the characteristics of Tomoshige Fujishima's works is that they show glimpses of Yamato-style(大和風) or Yamashiro-style(山城風) ground iron. This piece also has "Itame-hada" (板目肌) and "Masame-hada" (柾目肌). In general, the ground iron is well wrought, and the skin patterns of the iron are beautifully expressed. ・Fujishima Tomoshige's work is said to have been treated with great care as a rare item because of its fearsome cutting ability. 【Blade/Koshirae/Condition】 ・The blade is in excellent condition. - NAGASA(length of blade) : 66.5cm - SORI(the curvature of a katana) : 2.2cm - Hamon(blade pattern) : Very beautifully raised, allowing you to experience the beauty of Japanese swords. ・Koshirae : Koshirae is a simple and powerful work based on black. Please check the photos. 【Attention before bid】 ・This is a truly domestic Japanese sword that has never left Japan. When exporting, an export permit must be obtained. It takes about 20 business days from the time the buyer makes payment to the time the transportation process begins. This is because exporting Japanese swords requires permission from the Agency for Cultural Affairs. ・Export of Japanese swords from Japan to other countries is restricted. Depending on the situation of the shipping company and your country of residence, it may not be possible to ship. We will of course do our best to send the item, but if no carrier is available, we have no choice but to cancel the transaction. (So far we have been able to transport them without any problems in most cases.) ・Regardless of the carrier's situation, China and Russia are banned from importing Japanese swords.
