Drscription
The Rai school was a school founded by Kuniyuki, and in the late Kamakura period, it became a group of swordsmiths representing Yamashiro, replacing the Awataguchi school. Rai Kunitoshi is said to be the son of Rai Kuniyuki, and there is still no definite conclusion as to whether the so-called two-character Kunitoshi and Rai Kunitoshi three-character inscriptions are doujins. Combining the years of production of both swords extends from the 1st year of Koan to the 1st year of Genkyo, and it is not unreasonable to think that the span of 40 years is the period of one swordsmith's work. However, there is a considerable difference between the styles of the two.In contrast to Kunitoshi Niji, who specializes in splendid clove disorder with a magnificent appearance, Kunitoshi Rai has many elegant straight blade patterns. It is possible to some extent to classify them in terms of style. In addition, Kunitoshi Niji has only one short sword, but Kunitoshi Rai has many examples of short swords. The Rai family, including Kuniyuki, Rai Kunitoshi, Rai Kunimitsu, Rai Kunitsugu, and the direct lineage of the Rai family are all the best works.
This sword has narrow Mihaba, This is a Furisode-Nakago, a curved short sword from the late Kamakura period. Small-Itamehada-nerete, Jinie entered, Chikei entered final with beautiful and clear Jigane, Hoso-Suguha, Nijuba-kakari, Small-Ashi and You entered, Small-Nie-tsuki, Nioikuchi is bright and clear a masterpiece. It is owned by Tokugawa Munenao and is said to have been handed down by the Kishu Tokugawa family.
