Antique Nihonto Katana Signed by Tadakuni NBTHK TOKUBETSU HOZON TOKEN Certificate | KatanaSwordArt Nihonto For Sale 2025

Authentic Nihontō Japanese Sword Katana Signed by Shinano Daijo Fujiwara Tadakuni（2nd Gen）信濃大掾藤原忠國（二代）NBTHK TOKUBETSU HOZON TOKEN Certificate

The first generation Tadanori is known as an excellent disciple of Dewa Daijo Fujiwara Kunimichi. After relocating to Inshu Tottori, the name continued to flourish through the eighth or ninth generation into the Meiji period.

This sword is the work of the second generation Shinano Daijo Fujiwara Tadanori, who passed away in Kyōhō 5 (1720) at the age of 70. The difference between the signatures of the first and second generations can be seen in the character "玉" within the "国" kanji, where the first generation used "国" and the second generation used "國".

The sword has a somewhat slender and deeply curved form, with an elegant shape that opens moderately from the base to the tip. The jitetsu is well-forged with fine itame-hada, and the hamon is a bright, irregular midare with notable nie, prominent kinsugi, and a mixture of tight nioiguchi sections and parts with a lot of ko-nie. The boshi is straight on both sides, with a slight upward curl and a rounded end.

The accompanying koshirae is an elegant black lacquered saya in good overall condition, with no major dents. The tsuba features intricate designs using the kirikane zogan technique, showcasing leaf veins and worm-eaten holes in a flat yet three-dimensional representation. Unfortunately, due to replacements over time, the seppa is not original, leaving a gap of about 1-1.5 mm between the tsuba and habaki. If this bothers you, you can either replace the seppa or add another one, or adjust the habaki. We are happy to assist with any adjustments or repairs needed.

Bare weight: 660 grams. Weight with koshirae: 981 grams.
