Description: Signature: Unsigned (Mumei:Attributed to Shimada) Era: Late Muromachi period (1455-1573) Length: 39.2cm (15.43 inch) Curvature(Sori) : 0.8cm (0.31 inch) Blade pattern(Hamon): Gunomechoujimidare hakomidare togariba Skin(jigane): grain texture mixed with heather grain texture (itamehada mokumehada) Hat(boshi): Midarekomi Construction(Tsukurikomi): Hirazukuri Hamon(刃文): Hamon is called ``nie'' or ``nioi'', which is created when the hot sword is soaked in water for tempering, and the composition of the steel changes due to rapid cooling. This refers to the shape of the grilling blade, which is made up of fine particles. The basic shapes are straight blades and random blades, but the shapes are unique to swordsmiths, and there are many different types. Hamon can be said to be created by chance, so no two are exactly the same. Jigane(地鉄): Jigane is the pattern that appears on the surface of a sword, which is the result of folding and forging the iron that is the raw material for swords. There are straight grain, wood grain, and board grain, and these can sometimes intersect. Boushi(帽子): Boushi refers to the blade pattern on the tip of a sword. Shimada swordsmithing, which lasted from the middle of the Muromachi period until the end of the Edo period, is said to be a family led by Yoshisuke(義助), who mastered Soshuden and Bizenden. The first generation started in the Kosho(康正) era (1455-57), and although it went out of business in the ninth generation, it is said to have been revived and continued until the Tenmei(天明) era (1781-89).

The blade patterns fly and scorch as each other's arms open in confusion. Sand flows into the blade.(The English expressions) The gorgeous and wonderful blade pattern shows the characteristics of the Shimada school. This is a wonderfully crafted item. This sword has carvings called hi.There are various types of hi, and this sword's hi is called ``bohi'' and ``soebi''.There are also several theories as to why the bohi is there; one is said to be to drain blood, and another is said to be to reduce the weight of the sword.Gutters also have other religious and belief-related meanings. Please note that the description of the sword has a specialized expression unique to Japan, which is very difficult to translate, so please forgive the strange words.Therefore, we will also post the Japanese expressions.
