Other Info
| Bizen swords during the early Muromachi period are particularly elegant and are praised as Oei Bizen. Yasumitsu [康光], along with Morimitsu [盛光], is a representative craftsman, and this Hirazukuri wakizashi is considered to be by the first Yasumitsu (Uemonnojo [右衛門尉]) based on the inscription. The two-character inscription Yasumitsu (Uemonnojo) is often found on early works, and it is said that there are few swords with engraved dates. It is unfortunate that the Hamon of monouchi part is weak, but this wakizashi with bo-utsuri is a typical Oei Bizen sword of Yasumitsu. It has passed the Tokubetsu Hozon Token shinsa in 2018. |
