This is an interesting wakazashi. The blade has a naginata shape to it and tapers in back in the mune. The signature looks fine but is not an easy one to translate. This blade should be polish and submitted to shinsa as it is old and has good work in it. The hada has some coarseness and we feel that it will more than likely polish out very well. The hamon is thick and well made. The work on this blade may very well be of Bizen origins.
