Maybe her grandpa got lucky and raided a rich dudes home in WW2 Japan. Thats how most japanese antiques wound up here. This really is a unique find tho, most ww2 bring backs are crappy military blades that were pumped out to be last resort sidearms, very rare for a high level fuedal era blade, likely comissioned privatly by a noble family. Something tells me allot of men died in the process of that sword sitting in some suburban nevada home.

After WW2 occupation forces in Japan confiscated swords. Which must have brought in to the US by the officers who served there.

The Hizen Yukihiro that made this sword is listed on Wazamono which shows the grade of authoritative cutting ability. The Wazamono is the lowest of the four classes, but it is better than a general sword. By the way, the most excellent grade is Saijo Owazamono, and Kotetsu, a swordsmith, is famous as a swordsmith who corresponds to the highest grade. The valuable sword owned by the feudal lord was not on the Wazamono list because it was not tested for cutting ability. For example, Masamune and Go Yoshihiro are not on the list.

He would not even have understood the concept. He may not even have know where he got is steel from unless he made it himself. A lot of the better swords were made from imported steel, it would likely have come into Japan of Portuguese or Spanish ships and come from India, the same place the steal for Damascus swords came from.

I love that most of the older swords taken in are properly stored in a shirasaya. They are used for lomg term storage as opposed to the traditional tsuki(handle) and saya(scabbard). They also remove the Tsuba (handgaurd). The shirasaya casing is made to control the humidity since the swords are subject to rust. In a shirasaya the sword will still need maintenance but much less maintenance as opposed to a sword stored in a lacquered saya. :) love how they were cared for before they ended up here

Interesting enough the sword was missing the habaki, the gold piece that sits just above the Tsuba, they help seal the blade in the saya
