Wakizashi "Izumi-no-daijo Kuniteru" within mount


Blade length 53.0cm, thickness at the base 7.5mm, width 3.4cm

This is a nice and robust wakizashi made by "Izumi-no-daijo Kuniteru". This Kuniteru is a smith in Matsuyama, Iyo province in 17th century.

Steel is fine.




Hamon is made of large particles. It is very bright. It makes a shallow wavy pattern.




The polishing is very nice. It is old sashikomi style (the classical style). The blade surface has some rust, but we want to keep the polishing as a good example of old work.
The blade shows the typical style of good shinto blade.

Tang
Signature "Izumi-no-daijo Kuniteru"


The blade is a little shortened. Machi moved upward around 2cm, and the end of the tang cut off.

Habaki is made of copper. It is the Kawagoe style. And it has perfect fit with the blade. It shows what is good habaki.


Mount
It also is nice. Most of the parts are original from the Edo period. Total theme of the mount is Dragons.



Menuki is guard and catfish.



Kurikata and kaerizuno also have dragons. The end cap of scabbard is not a dragon, but paulownia.



Around the kozuka slot is damaged.
