Un chef-d'oeuvre de katana par Hitachi no Kami Muneshige, disciple direct du premier Sukehira et frere-disciple du celebre second Sukehira. Cette lame exemplifie la tradition shintō osaka des debuts, montrant la vigueur et l'artistique des annees formatrices de l'ecole.
La lame mesure 71,8 cm avec un gracieux sori de 0,9 cm, large a la base (motohaba 31,4 mm) et s'effilant elegamment vers le kissaki. Sa construction robuste, avec un motokasane de 6,8 mm, transmet force et presence. Le hamon est un splendide o-notare-midare, un motif d'onde ondulante rempli d'hataraki actifs (activites) tels que ashi et yo, creant un interplay lumineux vivant sur le tranchant durci.
Dans le jihada, un itame bien forge avec ji-nie temoigne du savoir-faire des maitres forgeron d'Osaka, dont le travail combinait le forgeage raffine avec des lignes de trempe flamboyantes. Cette lame capture l'aube du style de l'ecole Muneshige, une periode ou la creativite et la brillance technique s'epanouissaient dans les cercles de fabrication de sabres d'Osaka.
Logee dans une shirasaya simple avec un habaki en feuille d'argent, la lame est preservee dans une simplicite elegante, assurant une appreciation de sa forme et de sa metallurgie. Pour le collectionneur serieux, ceci represente une occasion rare d'acquerir une oeuvre d'un maitre Osaka significatif connecte a la grande lignee Sukehira.
