A beautiful katana in the tradition of the Bizen school this sword exemplifies the late Bizen school of the Shinshinto era. As you can see in our new High Resolution photographs the hamon is an active mixture of large choji/gunome with an overall notare shape. There is ara-nie in abundance and hotsure. The boshi is a midare-komi with kaen. The hada is a ko-itame with mokume mix and ji-nie appears, a beautiful tight hada to accentuate this glowing hamon. The sword has a wonderful curvature and the overall sugata suggests a time forgotten.
The koshirae is clean and fundamental with menuki of small birds and wheat chaffe. The tsuba is a clean plain shakudo with copper mimi rim. A black lacquered saya finishes the mounts in true samurai style. The blade is in full polish and should be sent to shinsa at a later date.
