The first sword shown here is the shinshinto wakizashi. The blade has a wide mihaba, and a sugata and yakiba that are quite similar to works by Minamoto Kiyomaro (known as the Masamune of Yotsuya). The hamon is a very wild midare which has profuse nie hataraki of every type you wouid want to see. Kinsuji, inazuma, sunagashi, nado. Kiyomaro, and some of his students like Kiyondo, crafted a sugata that is modeled on the o-suriage naginatanaoshi of the Nanbokucho period. They often have a very sharp aspect to their shape, and really emulate the feeling of Nanbokucho masterworks. It has not been shinsa’d yet, but I strongly encouraged the owner to submit to shinsa, and that is something I would suggest to the next owner as well. This is the kind of ideal blade to own which provides endless new things to see and enjoy, and which one would never tire of studying.
