This is a beautifully made wakazashi in elegant mounts. The mounts are very well made. The koshirae is not fancy but are more of a true samurai style and very utilitarian. They are plush looking without a flashy appearance. The blade is very well forged and the hada/grain texture is smooth looking and dark. The hamon is very active and has abundant hataraki/activity. It is nioi based, nie mix with many ashi visible. The shape is very nice with a well balanced curvature. This sword with original mounts is a very fine blade and should be submitted for shinsa/appraisal some day.
