Shape: The blade is wide and thick deep sori jirauchi style wakizashi.
Hamon: Nioideki Gunome midare is mixed with Cyoji midare, and it is a work that is rich in variety, and it is a work that is very similar to the sword of Taro Akamatsu Kanehiro, a resident of Higo Province.

Special feature: The number of modern swords produced each year is fixed, so swordsmiths tend to make large pieces, but famous swordsmiths probably make such wakizashi because they receive more orders than ordinary swordsmiths.
It is a well-made work with a sturdy work and a Cyoji midare hamon and gunome midare hamon.

Koshirae:
Tsuba :Mokko style iron tsuba, eme tree is engraved with gold color.
Menuki : A monk is highly carved on the copper base.

From Aoi Art: Sturdy Higo-no-Kuni Resident Wakizashi is rarely seen in the works of Taro Akamatsu Kanehiro. This is a work I would like to recommend.
