J\u016by\u014d-t\u014dken at the 23rd j\u016by\u014d shinsa held on July 1, 1975
katana, mumei: Sue-Sa (\u672b\u5de6)
Chiba Prefecture, Shimano Kunio (\u5cf6\u91ce\u90a6\u751f)
Measurements
nagasa 71.5 cm, sori 1.5 cm, motohaba 3.1 cm, sakihaba 2.7 cm, kissaki-nagasa 8.8 cm, nakago-nagasa
18.3 cm, no nakago-sori
Description
Keij\u014d: shinogi-zukuri, mitsu-mune, wide mihaba, thin kasane, \u014d-kissaki
Kitae: itame that features ji-nie
Hamon: ko-notare in ko-nie-deki that is mixed with gunome and a few yubashiri
B\u014dshi: sugu with a ko-maru-kaeri and hakikake
Nakago: \u014d-suriage, kirijiri, gently slanting katte-sagari yasurime, one mekugi-ana, mumei
Explanation
This is an \u014d-suriage mumei katana that can be attributed to Sue-Sa. The Chikuzen-based Samonji
School flourished in the Nanbokuch\u014d period and gave rise to many smiths, e.g., Yasuyoshi
(\u5b89\u5409), Yukihiro (\u884c\u5f18), Kunihiro (\u56fd\u5f18), Yoshisada (\u5409\u8c9e), Hiroyuki (\u5f18\u884c), and Hiroyasu (\u5f18\u5b89).
In terms of attributions, master Samonji is referred to as \u014c-Sa (\u5927\u5de6) and his students to as SueSa (\u672b\u5de6).
This katana has the typical wide mihaba, thin kasane, and \u014d-kissaki for its production time. The
jiba shows the features which all Sa students have in common but which do not point towards
the hand of an individual Sue-Sa smith<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designated as a j\u016by\u014d at the 23rd j\u016by\u014d shinsa
Sue-Sa from Chikuzen Province
[This blade is] \u014c-suriage mumei. Sue-Sa is an umbrella term for the students of master \u014c-Sa. The
blade has a wide mihaba, a think kasane, and an \u014d-kissaki and is thus of a powerful Enbun-J\u014dji-sugata.
Its jigane is an itame that features ji-nie and the blade is hardened in a nie-laden suguha-based
hamon that tends somewhat towards a gently undulating notare and that is mixed with gunome.
The b\u014dshi starts to turn back late and when we combine all this, we arrive at a masterwork that
shows the features which all \u014c-Sa students have in common but which do not point towards the
hand of an individual Sue-Sa smith.
