An absolutely impeccable male naginata by superior smith Houki no Kami Hirotaka.

Polished by formerly listed Living National Treasure Matsuo Fujishiro (awarded in 1996), the kanteisho paper was issued by Fujishiro himself in December 2000. Fujishiro-sensei died in 2004.

Yoshio Fujishiro and Matsuo Fujishiro are the authors of the prestigious two-volume sword reference books “Nihon Koto Jiten” and “Nihon Shinto Jiten.”

This is a naginata of the finest quality.
