Appraisal Quiz #820


Previous answer is
Mumei (attributed to Reisen Sadamori) 
無銘(冷泉貞盛) 

Features: During the Nanbokucho period, both Sagemonji and Kongobei schools were active in Chikuzen. Sadamori belongs to the latter school. A tanto inscribed “Chikushu Reizei Sadamori, dated January of Shohei 25” (a Juyo Bijutsuhin) exists and serves as an important reference for evaluating Reizei Sadamori’s work. Created 677 years ago in 1346, the piece reflects the Yamato style in its jigane, with a slight golden-blackish hue mixed with dark undertones, incorporating fine chikei and a tight nioi-guchi, with a narrow suguha hamon.
