【Product details】
A beautifully crafted antique wakizashi from the Edo period, complete with a full sword mounting and a plain wood storage scabbard. The plain scabbard contains a real blade, while the lacquered scabbard contains a wooden blade with the complete mounting set.
The blade collar is made of pure silver, and the hilt ornaments feature a chrysanthemum motif. The tsuba (hand guard) is round, made of copper, and decorated with a shell motif and gold inlay, though some of the inlay is missing.
In Japanese symbolism, the chrysanthemum often represents the Imperial family, nobility, and rejuvenation, while the shell can symbolize protection, wealth, and good fortune.
The wakizashi comes with a copy of its Firearms and Swords Registration Certificate (Aomori No. 6587), as the original will be returned to the authorities. The certificate, reissued on November 28, 1989, states that the blade measures 43.5 cm in length with a curvature of 0.8 cm, has one peg hole, and bears no signature on the tang.
It comes with a couple of silk bags for storage and protection. The condition shows some signs of age and wear, including a missing peg on the plain scabbard, a small nick at the tip of the blade (Please refer to images 12 and 13), small scratches on the lacquer of the scabbard, a noticeable crack in the ray skin on one side of the handle, and patina on the metal fittings. Please refer to the provided photos for a detailed look at the condition. The sword stand is not included.
Length of scabbard: 68 cm
Length of the blade: 56 cm
