From Aoi Art: Among Sukuhiro’s many works, some people prefer the Torah Hamon, but this is a work from the period when Sukuhiro was shifting from a Chojimidare Hamon to Toran Hamon, and it can be imagined that he was in agony as he tried to create new style. There are many words in the hamon, and it reminds me of sunlight shining through the trees and leaves in the morning mist in the forest. Beautiful jigane and excellent hamon design make this a great piece. The Koshirae is also good.
