This school’s headquarter is called Mihara school (三原). According to one theory, Mihara school was founded by Kokubunji Sukekuni in the late Kamakura period. Mihara school is divided into three categories depending on the period. When the blade is older than the Nanbokucho era(the 1300s), it is called Ko-Mihara (Old Mihara). And it is called Mihara for those forged in the early-Mid Muromachi period. Finally, Sue-Mihara(Late Mihara) is used for the late Muromachi period. Masaoki is categorized as Sue-Mihara. Kai-Mihara swordsmiths in the late Muromachi period sometimes signed Kai (貝: Shellfish) in their signature because they resided in a village called Kaigahara(貝々原). That is why they are called Kai-Mihara school. In Bingo province, many lands were owned by politically powerful temples of the Yamato region (today’s Nara prefecture) from ancient times. And it is said that the swordsmiths in the Yamato region strongly influenced how swords were forged in the Bingo province. The blades forged by the Kai-Mihara school had distinctive characteristics of Yamato DEN, one of the five Japanese sword traditions (Gokaden). The swordsmiths in the Bishu area, including Kai-Mihara school, produced many swords during the Muromachi period as it was in the middle of the Sengoku period(Warring state period). The demand for weapons increased among strong feudal lords. Bingo is located near the Chugoku Mountains, where iron sands, one of the essential materials for making Japanese swords, were abundant. This geological location contributed to the Mihara swordsmiths forging high-quality refined blades. We presume Bingo was quite active in sword-forging from ancient times. *Please keep in mind that there is a couple of tiny Kitae Kizu on this blade. If you like to see the detailed condition, please feel free to contact us. 【Blade】Cutting Edge Length(Nagasa)：31.6 cm (12.4 inches)Curvature(Sori)： 0.3 cm (0.12 inches)Hamon ：The crystalline structure which forms along the cutting edge of a blade as a result of the hardening process Jimon ：visible steel surface pattern created by folding and hammering during forging process Nakago ：Nakago is the tang of the Japanese sword. Japanese swordsmiths left the black rust on the tang because it prevents red rust while the tang is in its handle. And the discoloration of the tang was created over time, and it is a great indicator for a Japanese sword specialist to estimate when the sword was forged. Habaki：Habaki is the equipment to make the blade not touch its scabbard inside. It prevents the blade from getting rusty and chipped. *Please keep in mind that this Habaki is made of wood. A wooden Habaki is good to make less friction when removing the Habaki from the blade for appreciation. Authentication Paper：NTHK Kanteisho Certificate for the blade NTHK, also known as NPO Nihon Touken Hozon Kai, is the oldest organization for sword authentication of Japanese swords in modern times. It was established in 1889 during the post-Samurai era. They authenticated the blade on Sep 18th in the 4th year of Reiwa (2024). The purchaser will receive this original certificate as well.
