Jūyō-Tōken at 63rd Jūyō Shinsa
Shizu Saburō Kaneuji
This blade is ō-suriage, and its tang bears a gold-inlaid two-character attribution to said smith Kaneuji. The blade is with its wide mihaba and ō-kissaki of a powerful shape, its forging structure features chikei and plenty of ji-nie, and the hamon is a vivid midare mix composed of gunome, some chōji, and togariba. The base and the bōshi in particular are widely hardened, and with the tobiyaki, yubashiri, sunagashi, and kinsuji, the overall nie-laden ha is rich in variety and fairly bold. In addition, this masterwork reminds us partially of the meibutsu Wakebe-Shizu, and thus I am in agreement with its period attribution.
Blade length ~ 71.6 cm, written by Tanzan [Tanobe Michihiro] in August of the year of the tiger of the Reiwa era (2022) + monogram.
