Lot Description
Unsigned Japanese Katana
26.5" Nagasa (blade length). 38.5" overall with Tsuka (hilt) and Saya (scabbard). Aoi Gata style iron tsuba with Kozuka and Kogai hitsu-ana. Blade features a Shinogi-Zuguri shape. Fuchi composed of Shakudo with a blackened patinated finish and a checkered pattern overall. Kashira (Pommel Cap) shares the same material with a smooth finish. Hilt is wrapped in rayskin with one menuki on the left side and black cord wrap. Nakago (Tang) is unsigned. Sword comes in a wood core Saya (Scabbard) wrapped in stitched brown leather with a pair of REINDEER/FINISH snaps on the throat. Scabbard wrap is cut down roughly over the Kurigata suggesting it was hand fit to this Saya after its construction.
This lot is located in Cincinnati.
