FUJIWARA TSUGUHIRO
(active second half of 17th century)
Wakizashi
Steel, 47,5 cm (61,8 cm with the tang)
Signed 近江守藤原継廣 ( Omi no Kami Fujiwara Tsuguhiro) on the tang.
Provenance: Fabrizio Savi collection, acquired in the late 1990s from a private American collector.
The blade has a rich later mount consisting of a four-lobed tsuba with an arabesque profile, the tsuka covered with fish skin and silk thread, partially gilded metal menuki in the shape of a dog, kashira and fuchi in partially gilded metal with plant and bird motifs, lacquered wood sheath, ko-gatana knife with relief decoration of birds and plants on the handle and a three incised characters signature.
Tsuguhiro is part of that group of artisans who moved from Seki in the province of Mino to Echizen around the middle of the 17th century. He also worked in Edo.
