Other Info
| This sword was designated an Juyo Token in 2003 (49th). It is an Osuriage/shortened, mumei/unsigned sword, but has been attributed to the Ayanokoji [綾小路]. Ayanokoji was a group of swordsmiths whose founder was Sadatoshi [定利], who lived in Ayanokoji, Kyoto around Bunei Era (1264). The only swords that remain with Mei/signatures are those of Sadatoshi and Sadayoshi [定吉]. The features of the Ayanokoji are the style is classic, narrow, and elegantly curved. This sword shows the typical style of Ayanokoji, with the irregular hamon close together and in ko-midare, small tobiyaki and yuhashiri scattered here and there on the yaki-gashira, and the boshi is hakikake and niekuzure. |
