His master Naotane was a very important smith during the last part of the Edo period. In gorgeous and very rare koshirae proud of a high tosogu skills and shirasaya, from my own collection. The Koshirae is amazing with match tosogu; shakudo fuchi kashira with gold kirin mith animals with the gold almost intact. The tsuba match is iron with sdark silver rivet and more gold inlays of flowers an mith creatures. The saya is in almost mint condition too.

The red colour silk in the tsuka and the gold menukis complete this amazing piece of art. Beautiful and vivid hamon and nice Jihada (skin of the blade). Very rare and desirable find a blade with this quality polish in such almost perfect condition. The koshirae is in very good condition too. And amazing piece of art. Normal signs of use and battle as normal for such kind of item. A great museum piece to any collector. Special and rare sword full of history to tell.

The blade is in old japanese polish remaining in good condition, the jihada of the steel is detailed and full of details to appreciate. A masterpiece Worthly a museum and a great addition to any private collection.

Blade is in very good condition due to aging. Not hagire and not fatal damage, of course. This is a japanese weapon so have a real historical value. This is a weapon with centuries, not machine crafted so can be minor movements of saya, tsuka, tsuba, etc. Because of dilatation, humidity, etc. and little damages propers of his age like small rust, scratches, etc.. Sold as is.

All my swords are originals, imported from japan and Europe from the best dealers and collectors during many years of collection and passion.
