| Owari Province bordered Mino Province, and during the late Muromachi period many skilled Mino swordsmiths, such as Ujifusa, Masatsune, and Nobutaka, moved to Owari. Masayasu was one of them.Originally from Seki in Mino Province, Masayasu later lived in the castle town of Nagoya. In 1664, he received the title of Bungo Daijō and later Bungo no Kami.This wakizashi is in shinogi-zukuri style with an iori-mune. It has a wide mihaba, thick kasane, and restrained sori, giving the blade a refined appearance. The jihada is ko-itame mixed with flowing grain and ji-nie. The hamon is a lively gunome-chōji midare beginning with straight yakidashi, showing rich variation with pointed peaks, angular elements, and kataochi-gunome.The blade remains in healthy ubu condition and bears the bold signature “Bungo no Kami Minamoto Masayasu.” Both the jigane and hamon are well preserved, and the workmanship is excellent.This blade passed the 2001 Hozon Token shinsa.The sword is accompanied by black roiro mushikui-nuri wakizashi koshirae. |
