This unsigned wakizashi is likely from the Mino school, featuring the distinctive sanbonsugi hamon—a triple-peaked temper line famously used by the Kanemoto lineage. The blade displays a well-forged itame hada and a dynamic midare hamon with nie activity. The nakago is ubu with one mekugi-ana, indicating the blade remains in original condition.
