    JAPAN - Edo Period (1603-1868), Kabun Era (c. 1661-1673).
    Wakizashi mounted as a shikoku-zue, imitating a simple carved and lacquered wooden walking stick with a concealed assembly system.
    The blade is mounted in a shirasaya style.
    Simple copper habaki decorated with oblique grooves.
    Straight blade, regular, straight, and well-defined hamon, tang with one hole, unsigned.

    Dimensions: 4 x 104 x 3 cm.
    Blade length: 52.9 cm.
    Sori (curve): 0.7 cm.
    Weight: 425 g.

    Notes: After the Haitōrei (1876) banning the carrying of swords during the Meiji era, shikomi-zue became popular as concealed weapons. However, this blade is earlier (Edo period) and was probably later re-mounted in the shikomi-zue style.

    The overall characteristics (Kanbun shape, active hamon in nie-deki) suggest production in Seki (Mino period), early Edo period. Seki was a major production center during the Muromachi and Edo periods, producing blades that were often functional and robust.
