Description

1 antique Japanese Samurai o-yanone arrow point available.  This desirable exceptionally large (3 times larger than a typical large yanone) Samurai arrowhead would make a fine addition to any collection.

The ancient 17th-18th century Japanese yajiri/arrowpoint was used by true Samurai.  This large arrowpoint has a 5 13/16″ nagasa.  The point measures 5 13/16″ (15 cm) by 1 5/16″ wide (3.4 cm).  The nakago measures 7 7/8″ (20 cm).

A photo is provided illustrating this arrow point’s grand size–the photo shows this yanone next to a normal small size Samurai point.

 

CONDITION:

This antique Japanese Samurai yanone is in excellent condition.  The point has the expected carbon staining as well as some past super light, mild surface pitting in a few spots.  The hamon is very visible.  The hamon is perfectly healthy.
