From Aoi Art: Higo Kami Kuniyasu made swords
which is almost the same as his brother Kawachi Kami Kunisuke.
He made a few wwords during his life which means
that he helped to make a sword for his brother.
His brother made a lot of swords and high valuation
at that period but Kuniyasu was not so famous.
But I think the quality of his sword is much better than Kunisuke.
Kunisuke sometimes made high-ranking blade but some swords are not.
Kuniyassu made a few swords during his life and careful attention
and not a valuation for making swords I think.
His master Kunisuke’s ranking cutting test is Wazamono
but Kuniyasu is Oo Wazamono cutting test ranking
which is called Honor of indigo(expand master’s technique)
Koshirae is also nice quality. Tsuba is zaikai Kinai and fittings are the same Motif.
We recommend this sword for you.
