special feature:Sagami Kami Fujiwara Kunitsuna was a student of the Echizen Kanetane.
He was working at Echizen province and called Dahei Jo. The blade is wide and has a thick and longer kisaki, which means it is Kanei style. Generally his sword has faults of rough jigane on the Shinogiji but this sword is in pretty nice condition. I think this blade is his Jyojyo saku ranking with a blade in high quality. We truly recommend this nice sword.

From Aoi Art: Recently it is rather hard to look for massive wide wakizashi.
The blade is oo kissaki nice looking shape.
