Antique Japanese Daisho - Takada School - Double HOZON

Antique Japanese Daisho - Takada School - Double HOZON

  • Kissaki: Chū-kissaki
  • Lucidatura: lucidatura che rivela hamon e hada distinti

Wakizashi (lama inferiore)

  • Curvatura (Sori): 1,2 cm
  • Mekugi-ana: 1

Questo raffinato daishō della scuola Takada (coppia abbinata di katana e wakizashi) rappresenta l'artigianato distintivo della Provincia di Bungo (豊後国) durante il periodo muromachi tardivo. Sebbene senza firma (mumei), entrambe le spade sono state autenticate dall'NBTHK come prodotti della tradizione Takada, i cui fabbri hanno forgiato lame rinomate per la loro affidabilità e capacità di taglio bilanciata.

La katana, distinta dal suo solco bo-hi, mostra un profilo elegante di 65 cm con un fluente hamon notare-gunome lungo un hada ko-itame ben forgiato. I tre mekugi-ana indicano remontature ripetute nel tempo, suggerendo un uso attivo prolungato. Le proporzioni della lama - 1,8 cm di sori e chū-kissaki - raggiungono un'armonia ideale tra eleganza e praticità in combattimento.

Il wakizashi, che misura 51,1 cm con un delicato sori di 1,2 cm, completa perfettamente la katana sia in curvatura che in stile di forgiatura. Il suo hamon gunome-midare mostra ondulazioni ritmiche, e la sua grana densa rivela un lavoro di martellatura attento. Questa lama compagna minore avrebbe servito come arma per il combattimento ravvicinato per lo stesso samurai, formando una vera coppia funzionale.

La scuola Takada è stata stabilita da Takada Tomoyuki durante il periodo Nanbokuchō e ha prosperato sotto il patrocinio del clan Ōtomo. I loro fabbri hanno imparato dai maestri di Bizen e Mino, producendo lame note per nitidezza e resilienza superiori - attributi che le hanno rese popolari tra le case guerriere di Kyūshū per tutto il periodo Sengoku ed Edo.

Insieme, queste spade illustrano l'artigianato regionale e il patrimonio marziale del Giappone muromachi tardivo. Entrambe sono conservate in una fine lucidatura e recano l'autenticazione NBTHK Hozon Token, garantendo il loro significato culturale e valore per i collezionisti. Il bo-hi della katana alleggerisce il suo equilibrio mentre esalta il ritmo visivo dell'hamon, e la forma compatta del wakizashi completa un insieme daishō di armonia straordinaria.
