| Yamato-shizu[大和志津] is a general term for swords made by Shizu Saburo Kaneuji[志津三郎兼氏] of Mino, one of the Ten Great Masters of Masamune, and his followers when they lived in Yamato province before moving to Mino province, where they were active from the end of the Kamakura period to the Nanboku-cho period. It is distinguished from "Naoe-shizu[直江志津]", swords made by those who later moved to Naoe, Mino Province. Their style is a wide blade with a long kissaki/tip, and the shinogi-ji is always masame/straight grain. The jigane is a mixture of masame and itame. The hamon is o-midare with the togari-ba and lots of nie. Yamato Shizu has more ji-nie and more active hamon pattern than Naoe-shizu. This wakizashi is an excellent example of the style of the Yamato-shizu school. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa in 1990. |
