An exquisite ubu Wakazashi by the jo-Josaku smith � Echizen No Kuni Tsuguhiro. The sword is a stout blade with beautiful hataraki. The hamon is a rolling gunome-midare with much activity. There is sunagashi, kinsuji with ashi and yo, there is ko-nie with a glowing nioi frosting. The hamon gives the appearance of rolling seas. The hada has swirls of mokume with itame very tightly made throughout showing the skill of this smith and the reason he is rated as jo-josaku by Fujishiro. A gorgeous sword for the collector.
The mounts are very nicely done and consist of a samurai and horse theme. Again the motif emulates the characteristics of the blade with the Samurai and horses pitted against the rolling waves of the sea.
The sword is signed �ECHIZEN NO KUNI J�?NIN TSUGUHIRO�. It was papered by Toensha Appraisal Committee
Committee Chairman, Murakami Takashi on August 29, 1974A fine example of an Echizen smith at the height of his game.
