【Product details】
A rare and valuable antique Japanese wakizashi sword, crafted by the renowned swordsmith Higo-no-kami Shinn Mitsuyo. This blade was recognized as a precious sword by The Society for Preservation of Japanese Art Swords (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai or NBTHK) on March 23, 1973.
Higo-no-kami Shinn Mitsuyo, a prominent Edo period swordsmith, was known for creating swords for the Owari Tokugawa clan and the Yagyū family, who served as sword instructors to the clan. He moved from his home province of Mino to Nagoya, then to Edo, where he studied under Ishidō-ha Tsushima-no-kami Tsunemitsu.
The wakizashi measures 53.3 cm in length with a curvature of 0.9 cm. It features one mekugi-ana (peg hole) and bears no signature on the tang. The sword comes with a copy of its Firearms and Swords Registration Certificate (Chiba No. 049853), issued on June 4, 2004. The original certificate will be returned to the authorities.
It comes with a silk bag for storage and protection. Please note that there is slight rust on the tip of the blade, as shown in the provided photos. The stand is not included with the sword.
This antique wakizashi represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of Japanese sword history, crafted by one of the most famous swordsmiths of the Edo period.
Length of scabbard: 79 cm
Length of the blade: 66.5 cm
