From Aoi Art: Gunome midare hamon, which was created to imitate cumulonimbus clouds in the blue sky of midsummer, is unrivaled by swordsmith, who expresses lightning in Kinsuji. Although it is evaluated as a shinto masterpiece by Toko Jiten etc., in my opinion, it possesses the skill of a swordsmith who is located in the best and finest works. This work is a typical work of Masahiro, and he makes Midareba hamon well. Koshirae is Kirimon’s Issaku koshirae Ede Syakudo plate with a high engraving of the paulownia crest Kirimon and iroe with gold.
