Katana - Steel - Japan - Edo Period (1600-1868)
This is bearing no signature, but is interesting WAKIZASHI which the Kantei points clearly to the "Mino Jumyo School". Present-day Gifu prefecture. Very interesting gunome hamon with a fantastic regularity.
The Jumyo (寿命) school has its origins from Yamato (Nara prefecture) and moved to Mino province (Gifu prefecture) in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The tradition continued for centuries, right up until the end of the Edo period in 1868.
Their unique name, Jumyo, means life span or longevity. As it’s meaning is so hopeful, their swords were prized as celebrated gifts to Daimyo (great) families amongst the Samurai society.
