説明
「刀姿 sword figre」
鎬造り庵棟、身幅やや太く重尋常、鳥居反りで大鋒。茎は生で化粧鑢がかかる、茎尻は栗尻。
Shinogi-zukuri with an iori-mune (peaked back). The blade is slightly wide with standard thickness, featuring torii-style curvature and a large kissaki.
The tang (nakago) is ubu (unaltered) with kesho-yasuri (decorative file marks), and the tang tip is in kuri-jiri (rounded chestnut) form.
「彫物 carving」
彫物は片チリの棒樋が茎尻まで掻き通しと成る。
A katakiri bohi runs continuously down the blade and extends through to the end of the tang (kaki-tōshi).
「地鉄 jigane」
地鉄は大板目、処々柾がかり、やや肌目が立ち、地沸厚くつき、地景太く入る。
The surface steel exhibits a large wood-grain (O-itame) pattern with partial masame tendencies, a somewhat standing grain, heavy ji-nie, and prominent chikei.
「刃紋 hamon」
刃紋は互の目乱れ、小互の目交じり、足入り、沸よくつき、刃肌にからみ、金筋入り、砂流し幾重にもさかんにかかる。釯子は乱れ込み小丸に返る。
The hamon is a gunome-midare mixed with ko-gunome, with well-defined ashi extending into the blade. Nie is abundant and closely follows the surface pattern, with kinsuji present and multiple layers of active sunagashi running throughout.
The bōshi is midare-komi and turns back in a ko-maru (small rounded) form.

Izu-ju Sadahito (Enomoto Sadahito), whose real name is Enomoto Eishichiro, is a swordsmith residing in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture. He studied under his father, the swordsmith Enomoto Sadayoshi, and his elder brother is the swordsmith Tatsuyohi.
His father, Enomoto Sadayoshi, was a distinguished disciple of Gassan Sadakatsu and was known as “Sadayoshi of superior forging.” Sadahito has inherited the forging techniques and hamon styles of the Gassan school, and his ayasugi-hada is particularly outstanding. His hamon also clearly reflects the Soshu tradition favored by the Gassan lineage.
He has received numerous awards at the annual Shinsaku Meito Exhibition and continues to forge swords actively, being the only swordsmith currently working in the Izu region.
This piece is modeled after Soshu Sadamune, a top disciple of Masamune, and both the jigane and hamon are of excellent quality. The blade has just been freshly polished and shows no flaws that would detract from its integrity.
Regarding the koshirae, the saya is newly made, and the tsuka has been repaired. The samegawa has been replaced, and the fuchi-kashira, menuki, tsuba, and seppa are all newly fitted. The tsuka is rewrapped in black leather, and the sageo is also new.
Both the blade and koshirae are in near-new condition, making this a rare and highly desirable piece. Please do not miss this opportunity.
