This is a classic wakazashi from the Yoshii Bizen line of smiths.  Condition is very good for a sword made back in the 1400’s.  The smiths name is Naganori and is highly rated at chujosaku.  The hada on this sword is dark and rich looking. The ko-gunome is very well done and in the styes that Naganori worked in. This sword comes with a gold foiled habaki and in Shirasaya.  It is papered by the NTHK authenticating its quality and maker.

Fujishiro:
Naganori Yoshii (Eikyo 1429 Bizen) CHUKOTO CHUJOSAKU
   He is the son of Yoshii Kiyonori, his works are thought to extend from Eikyo to Chokyo.  He later moved to Izumo.
His works are largely tanto or hirazukuri wakazashi (this blade unique to his regular shape), hamon is uniform ko-gonome or suguba.
Signatures:  Naganori
                    Bizen Kuni Yoshii Naganori

The mounts are in good condition but the scabbard has some wear.  Silk cord and good fittings.  The mounts are younger than the blade.  The sword comes with NTHK Kanteisho papers attesting to its authenticity and quality.  This is a fine collectable sword from the Bizen tradition.
