From Aoi Art: The elegant shape Katana has Utsuri and beautiful Choji Midare and Gunome Midare Hamon.
It is a wonderful work that closely resembles Bizen Yasumitsu and Morimitsu in the early Muromachi period.
Swords tend to be Tachi-Mei, and short swords and wakizashi tend to be Katana-Mei in the early Muromachi period, Ouei Bizen.
This work is a masterpiece with a dignified Sori, good Jigane, and a beautiful Hamon. This is a work we would definitely recommend.
