Muromachi era Daido Wakizashi

 A koto from late Muromachi (1574) recently acquired by one of our members.  This wakizashi is mumei, but has been attributed by a swordsmith named Daido by the NBTHK and is papered as a Hozon - worthy of preservation. 
















The interesting thing about this blade is that history suggests that Daido was the personal swordsmith to Oda Nobunaga. 

Original listing for this blade:
