Sword #6: Jumonji Yari
Impeccable ubu Jumonji Yari with the inscription:
"Motome Banshi Yoshitori Yoshisaemon
Masayasu Motome Ojite Tsukuru Kore Wo"
(Made by special request of the watchguard Samurai Yoshitori
Yoshisaemon Masayasu)
"Bunkyu San-Nen I Hachi Gatsu Ka"
(A day in August 1863 -zodiac year of the Wild Boar )
"Choshu Ju Morihide Zo"

This was a special oder yari made for the Samurai Masayasu by the smith Morihide in August 1863. If you tap this yari, it continues to ring like a tuning fork for around 30 seconds. In 100% polish, flawless condition. This is the best ubu jumonji yari I have ever seen. Great for your collection. Comes with a red & gold original leather covered saya (no pole unfortunately).
