| Shoji Yamon Naokatsu was the son of the first generation Naokatsu. Born in 1835. His first name was ``Naoyoshi,'' which he changed to ``Naokatsu'' in 1862. Died in 1884 at the age of 50. His style is specializing in the reversed Choji-hamon of the Bizen tradition. This work is a sword made by Naokatsu Yamon, 37 years old, in 1872, when Japanese clothing was changing to Western clothing. It is probably a ceremonial sword that fits into a saber-shaped Western sword koshirae in accordance with the needs of the times. It has a special appearance with a wide Hirazukuri shape and almost no curvature. There is a visible wide area of Tobiyaki-utsuri on each side, and the hamon shows downward Kaku-gunome and Kataochi-gunome with appearing Ashi and Yo. An unique blade. It has passed the Hozon Token Shinsa in 2024. |
