A katana with finely decorated Handachi mount dating: Showa Period (1926-1989) provenance: Japan, Shinogi-zukuri blade, iori-mune (nagasa 65 cm). Clearly visible hamon, not clearly interpretable hada. Light signs of use and time, in need of professional polishing. Nakago with one mekugi-ana. Mei: Ama Hide. The blade is mounted in an elegant handachi-style koshirae, entirely en suite (except for the kurikata of the scabbard), with yellow metal mounts featuring engraved racemes and browned surface. The fuchi and the kabutogane are worked in this way. The tsuba, of mokko shape with pierced inome, also of yellow metal, with both faces covered by browned plates engraved like the other mounts. The saya covered with mottled lacquer inlaid with mother-of-pearl, mounts worked like those of the sword. Early Showa era, 1941-44.
