Features:This sword bears a mei different from the genuine Tanba no Kami Fujiwara Terukado.
In particular, the yasurime differs, so it cannot be recognized as authentic.
Nevertheless, the workmanship is solid and enjoyable.
The saya bears a sayagaki by Kanzan Sensei, but its authenticity is questionable.
We therefore sell this sword as “not guaranteed.”
