KIKUCHIYARI 菊池槍 Rare style Spear, Moritsugu signed, Silver inlay Fittings

A very rare and specially shaped Yari.
It is well known that Higo Enju developed this.
It is very thick, but narrow and finished in Unokubi Style. There is no Yokote.
This is thought to be to eliminate resistance when piercing.
At first glance it looks similar to a Tanto, but the Tang is long and has a unique silhouette.

Fuchikashira and Kojiri have cherry blossoms inlaid with silver.
The Tsuba is signed, Kofuju Toshimasa(江府住利政).
Habaki is reinforced with tape, and Tsukamaki will fade.
