This Tachi belongs to temple minister who passed away
few years back. It is still in clean original polish and
never been polished after Edo ( end 1868) periods. Kitae
shows strong Ayasugi hada which only 3 groups are known
by this forging method. They are Gassan and Mogusa
smiths who forges regular Ayasugi. The other is Satsuma
Naminohira group. As their blades shows iregular Ayasugi
like this blade, this is appraised as Suenaminohira
group Tachi. To be able to observe all the forging
system, it might need another professional polish
however this is clean enough to enjoy such a old blade
as it is now. |
