TADAKUNI HARIMA NO DAIJÔ [KEIAN 1648 HIZEN] SHINTÔ JÔSAKUHe is the son of Hizen Yoshiie, and his family name is Hashimoto. In the beginning he inscribed the "MA" of Harima no Daijô as the "MA" of rub. [TN: The bottom radical in the kanji is the radical of "TE", or hand, rather than "ISHI" or stone. Look at the fourth and tenth items in the third phrase.] In looking at his works from Kan'ei to Kanbun, the older ones say HARIMA NYÛDÔ TAITETSU, and works can be seen which have a good form, ji is ko-moku, hamon is chû-suguba or an exuberant midareba.

This is an excellent wakazashi made by a high "jo-saku" level smith. This sword is in great condition and has a very well made hada with some course areas that are hardly noticeable. The hamon is extremely active and exuberant. This is typical of Tadakuni. This healthy wakazashi has many things going for it and would be a fine sword to add to any collection.
