This early sword comes in koshirai and is in a fine polish.  The work on this sword is very elegant.  In the hamon you can see niju-ba and uchinoke with a well defined habuchi and some ara-nie.  The hada is well forged and in good shape for such an old sword.  The style is that of shinobu-zukuri and is not over polished for its age.  We recommend that this sword receive a shirasaya and be submitted to shinsa in the future to add to the value of this interesting wakazashi.
