THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY INTERESTING "KOTO" C - 1450 AD., KATANA WITH A APPROXIMATELY 28" / 71.1cm. CUTTING EDGE. IT IS APPARENTLY OF THE "MINO - SEKI" SCHOOL STYLE, AND POSSIBLY FROM THE "KANEMOTO" SCHOOL, THAT IS WELL KNOWN FOR SUPREME SHARPNESS (AND THIS BLADE IS!). IT IS MOUNTED IN AN OLD (100 +  YEARS OLD) SHIRA SAYA (STORAGE CASE), THAT SHOWS HONEST AGE, AND IS 100% SERVICEABLE. THE BLADE RETAINS APPROXIMATELY 95% OF ITS BRIGHT POLISH, AND RE-POLISHING IS "NOT RECOMMENDED".

"MINO-SEKI" MON (SCHOOL) KOTO Circa 1492 AD

THE MINO - SEKI (KANEMUNE SCHOOL) BLADES OF THE MEI-O (1492) PERIOD ARE LONGER,
AND WIDER THAN NORMALLY ENCOUNTERED FOR THIS PERIOD, THEY ARE REMINISCENT OF THE
"NAMBOKUCHO" STYLE. MANY HAVE A "O-KISSAKI" (LARGE POINT). THE SHAPE, AND BALANCE IS
EXCELLENT. THE BLADE CHARACTERISTICS ARE UNIQUE. THE BOSHI'S (THE POINTS, HEAT TREATING) ARE
MAINLY MIDARE KOMI (IRREGULAR), BEGINNING AT THE "YOKOTE" (VERTICAL RIDGE
LINE), IT THEN IN MOST CASES TRANSFORMS INTO A "JIZO HEAD" ( SHAPE OF THE HEAD
OF THE DEITY JIZO ) THIS LOOKS LIKE A MONK KNEELING IN PRAYER, WITH HIS SHAVEN HEAD
SLIGHTLY BENT DOWN.
