From Aoi Art: Although it is a Japanese sword that is not so highly evaluated
in famous swords, the result is not inferior to Oya Kunisada, especially Jigane is
wonderful, Hamon is a deep nioikuchi mixed with gunome, small ashi is included,
hamon is bright and clear.sunagashi in the blade, Kinsuji works many places. It’s a
work that doesn’t look like Masatomi, and it’s the best work for Masatomi.
It can be evaluated as a work. Also, the work is quite good and I would like to
recommend it to everyone.
Don’t push, don’t push. Please keep the order. !!

The joke is around here, and there were sword makes people who made such
wonderful works even if they were not evaluated by the famous sword. Currently,
the sword has passed the NBT HK Tokubetsu Hozon Token. The sword is healthy
and the surface is reminiscent of the surface like the round shape of clams.
Polishing is done by a fairly good polisher with soundness, and the work inside the
blade’s hataraki is well out.
