Appraisal Quiz #750


Previous answer is
  Mumei(judged as Ichimonji/ Fukuoka)
無銘(一文字/福岡)

Special feature: We have 3 Ichimonji period: Fukuoka Ichimonji in the Kamakura period, Yoshioka Ichimonji in the Nambokucho period, and Kataoka Ichimonji after that. As Dr. Kanzan wrote on the Saya, the blade is very beautiful with nice Choji-ba with elegant atmosphere. Juyo descriptions say that the blade is made from the mid Kamakura period to the late Kamakura period. We think it has been preserved really carefully.
