This Japanese samurai sword originates from the eighteenth-century Edo period. Composed of wood, lacquer, steel, and ray skin, the object presents a mottled brown and black speckled lacquer scabbard paired with a cord-wrapped handle, known as a tsuka. A dark, octagonal tsuba guard sits between the grip and the scabbard, displaying an unusual beaten edge shape. The tang is unsigned while the steel blade remains in a reasonable polish. Measuring 67 cm wide, 7 cm high, and 7 cm deep, this piece makes a striking addition to a gentleman's library. It fits neatly on a bookshelf alongside leather-bound volumes or within a display cabinet dedicated to historical Japanese arms. Collectors and enthusiasts of antique edged weapons place items of this nature on dedicated stands or horizontal mounts to showcase the intricate lacquerwork and traditional cord wrapping.

FAQs

During the Edo period in Japan, samurai swords such as the katana and wakizashi served as symbols of samurai social status and craftsmanship, featuring forged steel blades and decorative fittings known as koshirae.

A traditional Japanese sword comprises a high-carbon steel blade housed inside a carved wooden scabbard finished with urushi lacquer, paired with a ray skin and cord-wrapped hilt and a metal handguard.

Authentic period swords feature hand-forged steel with a distinct temper line along the edge, a tang displaying hand-chiselled file marks or signatures, and age-consistent patination across metal fittings and wood.

A samurai sword is typically presented horizontally on a minimalist dark wood display stand placed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or desk to serve as a focal historical artefact.

Steel blades require regular cleaning and light application of choji oil to prevent oxidisation, while the lacquered scabbard and handle wrapping should be stored in a climate-controlled setting away from direct sunlight.
