Lot Description

Signed Edo-Period Japanese Jumonji-Yari with Origami

6.25" blade lengths. 18.5" overall. 65" overall with ebu (pole). Cruciform shaped spear head with double edges and medians to central blade and horizontal spurs. This jumonji-yari also has upward curved spurs which makes it a magari style jumonji-yari. Item also features a nakago that is signed with long mei (seven characters to one side, three to obverse side) that is highlighted with gold or yellow lacquer. Long mei possibly translates to "Ko-Kwa San Nen Hachi Gatsu Hi". Spear head is mounted in an ebu that is made of hardwood, with rayskin and crushed abalone or oyster pieces comprising tachiuchi. Ebu has copper ishizuke (buttcap) and koiguchi fittings. Saya appears to be made of hardwood and a textured resin that is painted red. Includes origami for mei.
