Interesting Japanese Wakizashi with Hitatsura Hamon and Accessory Blade

13.5" nagasa. Hira-zukuri wakizashi with a single hole nakago that is unsigned, but appears old. Blade has lots of activity and features ihori mune, mokume hada, jizo boshi, and hitatsura midare-notare hamon with tobiyaki and nie that continues all the way to mune-machi. Koshirae include a chiseled and stippled tsuba with brass seppa and copper habaki. Tsuka has white ito, white same, black lacquer kashira, iron fuchi with gold foil designs, and matching gold sword with dragon menuki. Saya is black lacquered wood with single kurikata, and a slot for copper kozuka with gokatana that is signed.

This lot is located in Cincinnati.

Condition
Very good. Blade has good polish, with some scattered light scratches and a few possible pin prick pit marks. Koshirae is in good condition as well, with only minor losses and light scratches to finishes. Saya has a light crack to back side.
