This is a nice long Naginata from the Genroku period, around 1651- 1709. It is believed to be made by a smith from the Owari Seki Group, based on a Shinsa paper from Nippon Token Hozankai. It has a cut down tang with no signature remaining and a nagasa of 20 & 3/4 inches long. It shows a nice wavey hamon and tight hada with no flaws. It is stored in a shira saya and is in excellent condition with old polish. From the Ed Hollenbeck collection.
