M-103 Signed Otsuki Mitsuhiro Tou-buki weapons

Large sized Menuki of Sword and Axe signed by Kishotei Mitsuhiro

Mike hid the papers from me when I wrote this the first time so now I have to update it (I was close the first time anyways!). Radical large iron menuki signed Kishotei Mitsuhiro. Well cut and designed, this set is over 10 cm long! They look like mini-weapons and are fun show off piece as well as a top quality set from famous Jokko rated smith. Otsuki Mitsuhiro was Otsuki Mitsuoki’s son and the 5th master of the Otsuki line. Mitsuoki was considered one of the top three Kyoto smiths at the time along with Nagatsune and Tetsugendo Shoraku. As Mitsuoki lived a long life, Mitsuhiro spent most of the time working under his father, retiring shortly after his father passed away. It is rare to see a genuine sign piece of the Otsuki school as there are many fakes. It is even rarer to see a signed Mitsuhiro piece. Design is of Tou-buki weapons. They are in excellent condition and come with custom box and NBTHK Hozon paper to Kishotei Mitsuhiro
