This well made sword comes in an old Japanese style shirasaya and is in a fine polish. The work on this sword is very elegant. In the Sugu-ba hamon you can see tsunagashi and kinsuji with a well defined habuchi with some ko-nie to frost the top. The hada is well forged and in good shape for such a beautiful old sword with longish masame and itame running here and there entwined with itame and mokume. Ji-nie appears. The style is that of shinogi-zukuri with kakinagashi bohi carved. The tang is suriage and mumei and may be an older sword. Sugu-ba Hakikake appears in the boshi and the sword has an old Bizen feel to it.
The habaki is 2-piece gold washed with rain dance effect and beautifully done.
A very fine sword!
