This is a signed and dated katana from the owari school smith Katsushige.  This is a very long stout sword that is extremely well balanced for its size.  The homon has very good hataraki/activity, please take a good look at the pictures.  The hada is forged well and is very soft and milky looking.  Katsushige is well regarded smith and a sword not only made by him but signed and dated also is a great collectable katana.  This long katana comes with original mounts in shi shi motif that is all matching.
