Jigane :Koitame hada well grained with jinie attach and visible to see the texture.

Special feature:The signature is mentioned asSosyu Jyu Tsunamune Although it is named Sosyu Jyu Tsunamune,
in my opinion it is Mino’s swordsmith and is considered to be a Sanami-type work.

Koshirae :

Tsuba :round shape iron tsuba open work.
Menuki : On the syakudo plate, eggplant is engraved with gold color.
Fuchikashira: On the syakudo nanako plate,
flower is engraved with gold color.

From Aoi Art : It is a jigane that has been trained fairly well without any roughness in Jigane.
The inscription is Sosyu Jyu Tsunamone, but there is a question
There is no guarantee. So-syuden in the late Muromachi period also has such a Hamon work,
but Owari and Mino also have similar blade rests, and in my opinion, it is a work of Sanami’s school in Mino.
There are several Kitae Kizu on the Shinogiji to Mune from the habaki to the 20 cm tip.
Koshirae is also solid and can be said to be a recommended work.

Aoi Art estimation paper: whole Oshigata.
