Fujiwara Masayasu
Long 75.4 cm blade of the Sakakura-Seki school, from Mino to Owari, with a koshirae described piece by piece and Tokubetsu Hozon papers. The tang has been shortened. The blade is signed Fujiwara Masayasu, a name also read Masatomo, and is placed in the Sakakura-Seki school, rooted in Mino and established in Owari. It is dated to the Enpō era (1673-1681); the signature bears no date. It measures 75.4 cm nagasa, among the longer lengths, with a low sori of 0.7 cm that gives a very straight outline, and it weighs 945 g: a sturdy blade. The tang has been shortened (suriage), with three mekugi-ana and some 3 cm of machi-okuri, meaning that the mounting point has been moved from its original position. The koshirae is described piece by piece: an iron tsuba with chrysanthemums, an iron fuchi-kashira with silver arabesques, copper menuki with lions, and a decorated lacquer saya. NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon papers are included.
