healthy condition and the edge is thick enough(good Nikuoki).
Jigane: Koitamehada is grained well with Mokumehada mixed. Jigane is elaborate.
Hamon: Niedeki Suguha with Koashi. Boshi turns back round.

Special feature: Oumi Kami Hojoji Tachibana Masahiro(2nd) engraves quite similar Mei to the 1st. Hamon is Suguhadeki with Koashi. His works are really similar to Kotetsu works, that is why his works got popular.

From Aoi Art: It is as large and powerful as Katana with nicely thick edge. This work is in a healthy condition, it is supposed to have been preserved very carefully for a long time. Mei is nicely engraved and Suzurime is clear.
