Antique Japanese Sword Katana<\/span><\/span> attributed to<\/span><\/span><\/span> Sanemori <\/span><\/span><\/span>with<\/span> NBTHK<\/span><\/strong> \u00a0JUYO TOKEN<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0Certificate<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n \u3010Description\u3011<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0This blade is attributed to Hatakeda Sanemori (\u7560\u7530\u771f\u5b88), a representative swordsmith of the Hatakeda school (\u7560\u7530\u6d3e), which flourished during the late Kamakura period (late 13th century).<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Sanemori, whose personal name was Yajir\u014d (\u5f25\u6b21\u90ce), is said to have been the son of Moriie (\u5b88\u5bb6), the founder of the Hatakeda school. He worked in Bizen Province (\u5099\u524d\u56fd), present-day Okayama Prefecture, one of the most important centers of Japanese sword production. <\/span>The Hatakeda school is believed to have been active from the mid-Kamakura period through the early Muromachi period (mid-13th to early 15th century). Although the school is named after Hatakeda, an area in Bizen where the group is thought to have resided, existing signatures are typically inscribed as \u201cOsafune-j\u016b (\u9577\u8239\u4f4f)\u201dindicating a close connection with the Osafune tradition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Sanemori is considered to have been slightly senior to Osafune Nagamitsu (\u9577\u5149), one of the most renowned swordsmiths of the Osafune school, and they are thought to have been active around the same time.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The workmanship of this blade reflects the style associated with Moriie and the Hatakeda tradition. The hamon (\u5203\u6587) features a lively combination of ch\u014dji mixed with gunome (\u4e92\u306e\u76ee). Notably, it includes a distinctive form known as kawazuko-ch\u014dji (\u86d9\u5b50\u4e01\u5b50)\u2014a variation of fukuro-ch\u014dji, characterized by large, rounded heads and sharply constricted bases. This shape resembles a tadpole (\u86d9\u5b50), which is the origin of its name.<\/span><\/p>\n This History of Bizen Osafune School<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0It is said that Osafune school was founded by Mitsutada (\u5149\u5fe0), who was active during the mid-Kamakura period. Bizen Osafune school was the biggest one of all other schools in Bizen province, and they received many orders from feudal lords or renowned Samurai. They were called Osafunemono and beloved by Samurai warriors.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Among the swordsmiths who belonged to this school, Nagamitsu, Sanenaga, and Kagemitsu are known as Osafune Sansaku, the three renowned Osafune swordsmiths. There are also four other prominent swordsmiths who were from Bizen Osafune school. They are called Osafune Shiten-no, the four masters of Osafune school. Their names are Nagamitsu, Kanemitsu, Nagayoshi, and Motoshige.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0BIZEN is located near the Chugoku Mountains, where iron sands, one of the essential materials for making Japanese swords, were abundant. Furthermore, BIZEN swordsmiths had close access to Yoshi River, where they could find water and charcoal. This geological location contributed to the swordsmiths forging high-quality refined blades. We presume BIZEN was quite active in sword-forging from ancient times. It is said that BIZEN DEN was created by groups of swordsmiths there during the late Heian era (Late 12th century ). These ancient swordsmiths in Bizen province are called Ko-Bizen (Old Bizen) swordsmiths. By inheriting the sword forging techniques from Ko-Bizen swordsmiths, the Bizen Osafune school flourished from the mid-Kamakura period.<\/span><\/p>\n Horimono<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0This blade features exquisite carvings (\u5f6b\u7269, horimono) that exemplify the craftsmanship of its era. Both the front and back of the blade are adorned with b\u014dhi (\u68d2\u6a0b), a straight groove that not only enhances the blade\u2019s aesthetic appeal but also improves its balance by reducing weight. The grooves are executed in the kakinagashi (\u63bb\u6d41\u3057) style, characterized by their smooth, flowing taper that gracefully blends into the blade, showcasing the skill and artistry of the swordsmith. Such details make this sword not only a functional weapon but also a masterpiece of refined craftsmanship.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Appraisal<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0This blade is appraised as a JUYO TOKEN <\/strong><\/span><\/span>(\u91cd\u8981\u5200\u5263) issued by NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Touken Hozon Kyokai: \u65e5\u672c\u7f8e\u8853\u5200\u5263\u4fdd\u5b58\u5354\u4f1a). This authentication paper was only given to authentic Japanese swords, exceptionally well preserved and of high quality with artistic value. JUYO is one rank higher than Tokubetsu Hozon. To be eligible for a Juyo Token, it needs to be appraised as a Tokubetsu Hozon Token first. It is extremely rare for an antique Japanese sword to be appraised as JUYO TOKEN, and it is highly desirable among Japanese sword collectors.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n *Please keep in mind that there are a couple of Kitae Kizu on the blade. If you like to know the detailed condition, please feel free to contact us.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u3010 Blade\u3011<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n Hamon<\/strong><\/span>: <\/p>\n Kissaki<\/strong>: <\/span>Kissaki is the tip\u00a0of the Japanese sword.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Nakago<\/strong><\/span>: Nakago is the tang of the Japanese sword.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Japanese swordsmiths left the black rust on the tang because it prevents red rust while the tang is in its handle. And the discoloration of the tang was created over time, and it is a great indicator for a Japanese sword specialist to estimate when the sword was forged.<\/span><\/p>\n Koshirae<\/strong><\/span>: Koshirae is the mounting of the Japanese sword. There are several parts that consist of Koshirae such as Saya(Scabbard), Tsuka(Handle), Tsuba(Handguard).<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fuchi-Kashira<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>\uff1aA pair of matching sword fittings that cover the upper and bottom parts of its sword hilt.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0The theme of this menuki is a dragon (\u9f8d, ry\u016b).<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Originally, dragons were imaginary creatures that appeared in ancient myths and traditions from abroad. Over time, they came to be regarded as powerful symbols of auspiciousness. The dragon\u2019s form is said to combine features of nine different animals: antlers of a deer, the head of a camel, eyes of a demon, the neck of a snake, the belly of a mizuchi (\u86df, a mythical serpent-like creature with horns and four legs in Japanese folklore), scales of a fish, claws of a falcon, palms of a tiger, and ears of a cow. Because of this extraordinary composite form, the dragon was believed to reign supreme over all creatures. <\/span>Based on our experience, dragon motifs are frequently found in sword mountings, reflecting the strong admiration samurai held for this majestic and dignified creature.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0In addition, the dragon depicted on this menuki holds a ball-shaped object known as the Nyoi H\u014dju (\u5982\u610f\u5b9d\u73e0, Cint\u0101ma\u1e47i). This mythical jewel is said to grant any wish and bestow treasures such as wealth, clothing, food, and drink. It is also believed to heal illness, dispel evil, purify water, and protect against disasters. According to legend, this magical jewel originates from the brain of the Dragon King. For these reasons, dragons have long been cherished as powerful symbols of good fortune.<\/span><\/p>\n Tsuba and Habaki<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>\uff1aTsuba is the handguard for the Japanese Sword and Habaki is the equipment to make the blade not touch its scabbard inside. It prevents the blade from getting rusty and chipped.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Kougai<\/strong><\/span><\/strong><\/b>\uff1aKougai is the equipment for Samurai to arrange or fix his hair style.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0This item is an antique Kougai (\u7b04), which was used to arrange or fix the hairstyle of Samurai. The Kougai is usually stored in the Kougai Hitsu. The Kozuka (\u5c0f\u67c4) is often stored at the other side of the scabbard.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0The motif of this Kougai is Japanese apricot blossoms (\u6885, Ume). Japanese apricot blossoms begin to bloom in winter that snow still covers its tree so that people thought this flower tells the arrival of spring. Same as cherry blossom, it has been appreciated for a long time in Japan. People enjoy its adorable petal shape and scent, gracefully branched tree, and compose many poems. As it comes out in the cold season, it symbolizes the power of perseverance and vitality it comes out in the cold season, it symbolizes the power of perseverance\u00a0 and vitality.<\/span><\/p>\n Saya<\/strong><\/span><\/strong>\uff1a Saya is the scabbard for the Japanese sword.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0This saya (scabbard) features a decorative lacquer technique known as Fuemaki-nuri (\u7b1b\u5dfb\u5857). The name literally means \u201cflute-wrap lacquer\u201d and refers to a method in which thin cords or strings are wrapped around the scabbard before being coated with multiple layers of lacquer. Once dried and polished, the surface reveals a textured, ridged pattern reminiscent of the wrapping found on a traditional Japanese flute (fue, \u7b1b).<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0In addition, the kurikata (\u6817\u5f62) and other fittings of this saya are adorned with gold-inlaid designs of the Kashiwa crest (\u67cf\u7d0b) and oak leaves.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0In ancient Japan, oak leaves were commonly used as natural vessels for serving food and offerings, making them an essential part of daily life. This close relationship with food and nature also extended into the realm of faith. Early Japanese belief systems, rooted in everyday life, revered natural elements such as the sun, mountains, rivers, and oceans. Offerings were made to these sacred entities, and oak leaves, along with other plant leaves, were used as containers for these offerings.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0These practices later influenced the development of Shinto (\u795e\u9053), where oak leaves are still used in rituals today. Because of this background, oak leaves came to symbolize sacredness, auspiciousness, and continuity. They also possess the unique characteristic of retaining old leaves until new ones grow, which led to the belief that they represent \u201cunbroken generations\u201d and the \u201ctransfer of authority.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Originally, the Kashiwa crest was closely associated with shrines, their deities, and shrine families, reflecting its strong connection to Shinto. Over time, the emblem spread to the samurai class, likely through their ties to religious institutions. By the Edo period, family crests became popular among common people as well, and the Kashiwa-mon was widely adopted. Today, it remains one of the most recognized and cherished Japanese family crests.<\/span><\/p>\n *Please note that there is some minor wear on the Saya due to age.
