【Product details】

Presenting a Wakizashi from either the late Edo or Meiji period, this blade is unsigned and comes with a Koshirae from moden (showa period) featuring a unique family crest. The crest is named 'Five Gourds with Cherry Blossoms,' symbolizing the familial connection of its bearer. While the design prominently displays a cherry blossom motif, the representation of the five gourds may be abstract or stylized. The scabbard showcases a refined nashiji finish which is a lacquer technique characterized by a pear-like texture created by sprinkling fine metallic powder over a lacquer surface. The blade, including its tang, measures a total of 75 cm.

Registered under the firearms and swords law, it carries certificate number 19121 from Shizuoka Prefecture. Specifics of the registration detail a blade length of 57.5 cm, a curvature of 1.2 cm, one peg hole, and an issuance date of December 5, 1958 (Showa 33).

While in remarkable condition, slight wear, including minor scratches, can be found. We recommend examining the provided photographs for a comprehensive view.
