This Wakizashi was forged in colaboration with Jirozaemon Jo Katsumitsu, who was ranked Saijosaku (Highest) and Yokiwaza Mono, and Sakyonoshin Munemitsu who was ranked Jojosaku (Second highest) and Yokiwaza mono. Sakyonoshin Munemitsu was the uncle of Jirozaemon Jo Katsumitsu. After Katsumitsu's father passed away, he taught forging skills to Jirozaemon Jo Katsumitsu. So there are many works of their collaboration. This Wakizashi is splendid quality of the Sue Bizen swords. It was forged in 1505, more than 500 years ago. It comes with a Wakizashi style Koshirae with a black lacquer Saya that is decorated with Paulownia Tree theme fittings. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token in 2018. |
