Tsuba and Menuki are Muromachi jidai.
Menuki are family mon. Shakudo fuchi-kashira
are Umetada style nanako.
Polish, Habaki, and shirasaya are Tokyo #1 of
best quality.
From
Nihonto-Koza volume 3:
“Besides Nagamori, there are pieces of
good workmanship of toko such as
SHIZUMORI, SHIZUNORI, and such with
the ji of SHIZU, and I once saw a
hira-zukuri ko-wakizashi by SHIZUNORI
with a wide mihaba, the jitetsu was
tight itame, and the hamon was ko-nie
deki chu-suguha with ashi and was an
excellent piece which stood out from
the crowd.” “Also, as for the
Meibutsu Gondo that has been handed
down in the Kuroda Ke and is a
naginata by SHIZUNORI, the hamon
resembles one of the better works of
YOSAZAEMON SUKESADA of Bizen, and if I
were forced to say so, a little bit of
difference can be seen in the
jitetsu. Besides that, not only
are there excellent works in TAIRA
TAKADA, the range of work is broad,
and this is one HA which should be
researched by digging in to them much
deeper from the standpoint of
knowledge of late Koto.”
Tanobe Sensei: “ Being from
Kyushu, some of my favorite works are
from Taira Takada. The skill
level is quite excellent.”
