Drscription
Chikuzennokuni Samonji is commonly known as Ohsa and is said to be a child of Jitsua, and the inscription Sa is an abbreviation for Saemon saburou. He was one of Sousyu Masamunejittetsu, and he was a big break from the classic Kyusyu production area, and he was bright and clear with Jiba, establishing a prominent new style of Chikei and Kinsuji. The only existing Tachi in existence is the national treasure "Kousestsu Samonji", but there are relatively many examples of Tantou.
The Sa clan flourished during the period of the Northern and Southern Courts, and included Sadayoshi and Yasukichi, who are said to be children of Ohsa, as well as Hiroyuki and Kunihiro, and these Sa clan are called Suesa.
Sadakichi was the son of Ohsa, and there is a historical work written in the 1st year of Bunna during the Nanbokucho period.
Judging from the shape of this sword, it is believe that is was originally Ohdachi of about 61.6cm, wide Mihaba, In the form of Nanbokucho that extends Kissaki, Chikei is woven finely into a black and clear Kitae. Based on Suguha, with Notare-gokoro, Mixed small-genome and Chouji, Hotsurekakari, Yubashiri, Tobiyaki, Nijuba-shikirinikakari, There are many Ashi, Deep Nie entered, Kinsuji, Niesuji and Sunagashi-kakaru, It represents a production area that shows the characteristics of Sa. The original one seems to have been perfected by Sadayoshi due to its gentle Suguha-based tone. It is a masterpiece of Sa, which is extremely Kenzen, full of ambition, and dignified.
