I discovered it at a secondhand shop in Aizuwakamatsu. It appears to have originally belonged to a local tategu-ya (architectural fittings \/ screen craftsman). The blade has been tuned and professionally sharpened (set and filed) by Mr. Tsuchida, so it is ready for immediate use upon arrival.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMy assessment regarding the blacksmith’s mark and generation is based on cross-referencing available photographic and historical archives, combined with my own experience.

Continuing through to the 6th generation, who forged saws as a livelihood (born February 13, Taisho 2 \/ 1913; passing year unknown; active until the late Showa period), this saw-smith lineage spans over a century of history.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49677139968238,"sku":null,"price":33000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF8586_83a38767-f83e-4e30-9b84-42a4c51616d8.jpg?v=1790986650","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/ja\/products\/douzuki-noko-japanese-precision-cross-cutting-hand-saw-240mm-6","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
