From Aoi Art: After the mid 17th century, the productions of the crops increased dramatically in Japan, and Chonin(city-people) had gained more power and industries and economic had developed more than ever, and resulted in the significantly great progress on the area of literature, studies, and arts. By the economical power, Chonin had made great arts mainly in Osaka and Kyo(Kyoto). On this background, the demands for the swords had declined significantly, so the sword smiths started to make gorgeous and well-made works with Doranba, Chojimidare, or blade-engravings. Because Chonin had permission to have swords, so the sword smiths made many gorgeous Wakizashi for them. That’s why we can find great wakizashi among the works from this era. This work has Chojimidare which reminds of Ichimonji, and Kinsuji works beautifully in Hachu. Koshirae is also nicely-made and has no flaws. They fit themselves together really well. It is polished by Sashikomi-Kenma method, so we can see the functions of Hachu really well. We truly recommend this one for you.
