Especially This engraving was done by Attoko Masago.
It is small rust so we hand the blade later polishing.
We recommend the wonderfully carved works of Bansyu Tegarayama Fujiwara ujishige
and engraving, which rarely appear.
We hand the blade over after the miner polishing finished.

From Aoi Art: Other Tegarayama swordsmiths like Masashige also do
carving.
The carving of this work is carved on the back of the inscription Otoko Masago? Hori No
and nakago, so it is different from Tegarayama Ujishige.
It will be. He may have been carving Ujishige’s sword because he is a very good sword
carving technique,
I highly recommend this wonderful work. As I told you earlier, there is a little rust on the
book.
Since there is, please consider that it will take about 3 weeks after purchase. (free)
