Being Evaluated |
| In the late Edo period, the Yokoyama [横山] school flourished in Bizen Osafune, with names such as Sukenaga [祐永], Sukane [祐包], Sukehira [祐平], and Sukenao [祐直], all of whom used the character "Suke [祐]" as a common character (toori-ji), and all swords unique gunome and choji-shaped hamon with sugu-yakidshi. This tanto was made in 1851 by Yokoyama Sukenao the 2nd generation. He was the son of Yokoyama Sukenao the 1st generation. It is a tanto that well represents the characteristics of the Yokoyama school. The nakago is in excellent condition. It comes wtih a aikuchi syle koshiae with black lacquered saya. An ideal piece to use as an omamori/talisman sword. |
