This finely crafted wakizashi embodies the perfect balance of beauty and functionality, showcasing the elegance and precision typical of traditional Japanese sword-making.

  • Period : Edo
  • Blade Length (長さ, "nagasa"): 57.1 cm
  • Curvature (反り, "sori"): 2.0 cm
  • Blade width at the base (元幅, "motohaba"): 27.3 mm
  • Thickness at the base (元重, "motokasane"): 6.3 mm
  • Blade width at the tip (先幅, "sakihaba"): 18.0 mm
  • Thickness at the tip (先重, "sakikasane"): 3.9 mm
  • Overall length with scabbard (拵全長, "koshirae zencho"): 89.6 cm

The deep curvature of the blade reflects both aesthetic grace and optimized cutting performance, making it ideal for close combat and swift movements. The hamon is an intricately detailed, chaotic midare pattern esulting from expert heat treatment, giving the blade a distinct and unique visual appearance.

The koshirae (scabbard and fittings) adds to the beauty of the blade. Wrapped in traditional samegawa (ray skin) and finely crafted tsuka-ito, the hilt offers both durability and elegance. The overall length of 89.6 cm provides the perfect balance and versatility for one-handed use, a signature characteristic of a wakizashi.

A true reflection of Japan's sword-making legacy, this wakizashi is a harmonious combination of artistry, tradition, and deadly precision, making it a prized piece for collectors and martial artists alike.
