From Aoi Art : Yasutsugu of this work is judged to be specially valuable for the instep type
by the examination of the Japanese Sword Museum
As a result of submitting to the examination again, the appraisal was made as pending.
The tousle zensyu(all wordsmith book) has a very low evaluation as a parallel work.
I think that it is a work that can not be said to be useless as far as the inscription is seen,
and the Jigane and blade crest of the blade are quite evaluated works. Even if some of the works are on hold,
they have passed the special preservation, so it cannot be decided that they are totally useless.
For that reason, we will sell it at a low price.
NBTHK pending. NBTHK does not decide whether the signature is genuine or not.
