From Aoi Art:This is a Mumei sword, however it has great quality made by
Tegai Kanetoshi. Old works from Tegai school have well-
close-grained Jigane, and there are almost no Masame-
hada. Koitame-hada well grained to be a great Jigane.
Tegai school from Yamato has this greatness of Jigane,
like Suguhadeki with Koashi, we can enjoy them forever.
Besides, Koshirae is Higo Koshirae and matches the blade
very well. We definitely recommend this work for you.
