Japanese Wakizashi Short Sword with Koshirae
Recently Appraised

Japanese Wakizashi Short Sword with Koshirae

This item is a Japanese wakizashi, a secondary short sword traditionally worn by the samurai class. The blade features a distinct tempered edge (hamon) and a curved profile typical of Edo-period or modern reproduction craftsmanship. The hilt (tsuka) is meticulously wrapped in blue silk or cotton cord (ito) over a white ray-skin (samegawa) base, accented by decorative metal ornaments (menuki) tucked under the wrap. The circular handguard (tsuba) exhibits a dark, patinated finish, complemented by a silver-toned collar (habaki) at the blade's base. Its scabbard (saya) is finished in a sleek black lacquer, featuring a matching blue storage cord (sageo) tied in a complex knot near the throat. A metallic decorative cap (kojiri) protects the tip of the scabbard. The overall condition appears excellent with minimal visible wear, suggesting it is either a well-maintained antique from the 19th century or a high-quality modern shinken intended for practice or display. The tight wrapping and clean lines of the blade geometry indicate superior craftsmanship.
