Description

Authentic Nihontō Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Suruganokami Fujiwara Morimichi 駿河守藤原盛道 NBTHK TOKUBETSU KICHO TOKEN Certificate

The first-generation Suruga no Kami Morimichi was a Mino Province swordsmith around the Keicho era, renowned alongside Mutsu no Kami Daido as a master craftsman of the same period in Gifu, Mino Province. The lineage continued for several generations, and this sword does not specify the exact generation.

This piece features a finely forged grain, a bright and clear hamon, with nie along the edge, and a sturdy and wide blade with an extended kissaki. It is a grand and magnificent sword with a thick blade and prominent width, showing a meticulous crafting process. Unfortunately, the tang has been slightly altered to hide a flaw beneath the habaki, compromising its original appearance from the time of forging.

Bare weight: 772 grams.
