Antique Japanese Daisho Sword Set – Signed by Senjuin and Attributed to Mihara – NBTHK Hozon Certificate
This remarkable Daisho sword set consists of a katana signed by the renowned Mino Senjuin and a wakizashi attributed to the prestigious Mihara school. Each blade represents a significant piece of Japanese sword-making history, carefully authenticated by the NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai) with a Hozon certificate, signifying its historical and artistic value.
Katana – Signed by Mino Senjuin
The katana in this set is signed by a swordsmith from the Mino Senjuin school, one of the most famous sword-making traditions during the late Nanbokucho to late Muromachi period (mid-14th to early 16th century). The school was based in Mino Province, present-day Gifu Prefecture, and was known for producing high-quality blades admired for their sharpness and durability. According to the NBTHK, this particular katana was forged in the mid-to-late Muromachi period (late 15th to early 16th century), making it a valuable historical artifact.- Cutting Edge Length (Nagasa): 68.9 cm (27.1 inches)
- Curvature (Sori): 1.9 cm (0.75 inches)
Wakizashi – Attributed to the Mihara School
The accompanying wakizashi is attributed to the Mihara school, a highly respected sword-making tradition based in Bingo Province (now Hiroshima Prefecture). The Mihara school is believed to have been founded by Kokubunji Sukekuni in the late Kamakura period (late 13th century to early 14th century), and it remained influential throughout the Muromachi period. This wakizashi is linked to prominent Mihara swordsmiths such as Mihara Masaie and his son, Masahiro, who were known for their superior craftsmanship.- Cutting Edge Length (Nagasa): 40.6 cm (16 inches)
- Curvature (Sori): 0.45 cm (0.18 inches)
