Japanese army officer sword shin gunto wakizashi signed Asai Yasutsuna
Wakizashi « Ittousai » forged by Asai Yasutsuna, son of Toshimasa cf: SESKO Markus, Index of Japanese Swordsmiths N-Z, p. Produced around the end of the War, this sword carries several charecteristics of that time: Less care on the details of the tsuba (compared to previous versions); The nakago was slightly grinded in order to make the habaki fit on the nakago, instead of making a customized habaki; The saya is an ordinary one, not shortened to fit the lenght of the blade. Beside these wartime imperfections, that show the privations Japan was facing at the time, the sword is in an excellent condition. The blade was polished, hence a very clear ha with its particular shape. Blade lenght (from the habaki to the kissaki): 54,5 cm. Wakizashi lenght (included tsuka): 83 cm. Total lenght with saya: 99 cm. I remain at your disposal for any question or additional pictures. Copy of the original invoice also available.
