Special feature: Kunihiro was a samurai who served the Ito family, who was the former
owner of Obi in Hyuga, Kyushu. It is said that he settled in Ichijo Horikawa, Kyoto after the 4th year of Keicho, raised many excellent disciples and died in the 19th year of Keicho.
There are two making styles of Kunihiro, Sue Sosyu and Suezeki style can be seen before settling in Kyoto, and after settling in Kyoto he made Sosyu high ranking sword.

From Aoi Art:This work is rarely Katakiri ba’s work, and Jigane is really well packed, and Jinie is well attached to the chopped Hadatachi Jigane, and detailed Chikei is included, and Nioikuchi deep Notare ba is elegantly produced. Probably it is a work that was aimed at Sadamune and Shizu, and it is a magnificent and wonderful work.
Katakiri ba is occasionally seen in Kunihiro, but it is sharp.
This is Kunihiro’s Jyuyo Token, which rarely appears, so I highly
recommend it.
