The Jumyo (寿命) school has its origins from Yamato (Nara prefecture) and moved to Mino province (Gifu prefecture) in the Kamakura period (1185-1333). The tradition continued for centuries, right up until the end of the Edo period in 1868.

Their unique name, Jumyo, means life span or longevity. As it’s meaning is so hopeful, their swords were prized as celebrated gifts to Daimyo (great) families amongst the Samurai society.

This sword is blessed with one of the finest polishes by a mukanza level polisher (the highest ranking) within this past decade.

It is an absolute pleasure to hold this remarkably light masterpiece. One must stop and admire a sword that is 700-800 years old from the golden era of sword making, the Kamakura Period.

This sword was judged by the NBTHK and granted Hozon (a sword worthy of preserving issued by the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords). PK
