This sword is flawless and has a very rich looking hada. The hamon is very nice with good activity. The shape and workmanship of this sword is self-evident. The sword is more attractive in hand than in the pictures. Its comes in original mounts that are very interesting. We would recommend a shirasaya and tsunagi for this fine sword to the future owner to preserve the condition for years to come.

These mounts are very nice, from the saya to the elephant fuchi that extends all the way into the tsuka-ito. Also the menuki are interesting in that they are three monkeys. In castles in Japan you can find these monkeys everywhere. One with the eyes covered the other with the mouth covered and the last with the ears covered.
