Era : Early of Muromachi
Shape : Regular width and thickness. Very shallow Sori, longer Kissaki.
Jigane :Koitame-Hada well grained. There is Masame and O-hada but there is also Utsuri.
Hamon : Konie-deki. Urumig-gokoro with Ko-Ashi. Boshi is deep round shape.

Special feature: Tegai is start from Kamakura period, one of 5 Yamato schools (Ho-sho, Toma, Tegai, Shikkake, Senjuin) and they made swords for their monks soldiers. Dr. Kanzan write Sayagaki and says this is Tegai but NBTHK says this is Sue-Tegai. In our opinion, Jigane is well grained and Koitame-hada with Masame and Suguha so this sword is made around Nanbokucho period. But NBTHK says this is Tegai around Muromachi period. Anyway, The Jigane is good quality and clear and elegant.
