Kashu Ietada is a well known smith from the kaga province.  This katana is almost 29" long and is a very healthy blade.  These swords were famous for their cutting abilities.  The hamon/temper on this blade is very active with many hataraki and is also healthy.  The hada/steel is course and active and is very much forged in the kashu tradition.  This sword in a fresh polish would be even more beautiful but the condition as is still shows well all the work within this fine sword.  The mounts are all in a dragonfly motif and all made as a set.  Mounts like this are not easily found so it adds greatly to this sword overall.
