This sword has been attributed to the Omiya Tradition, with an unknown inscription due to decay on its nakago. The Omiya school is said to have been founded by Kunimori, and moved from Omiya in Yamashiro Province to Osafune in Bizen Province around in the mid Kamakura period. The school flourished most during the Nanboku-cho period, when Morikage and Morishige were well known, and continued into the Muromachi period. This sword is a magnificent that shows the style of the Nanboku-cho period. It is a pity that the nakago has rusted and decayed, but it is a braid that is worth seeing and is full of spirit. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token Shinsa in 2024. |
