Special Feature:This sword was attributed as Shinto Jumyo by NBTHK but I think this was made by the sword smith like Kanekage in the late Muromachi period because it has lots of Utsuri and Hamon of Kissaki is old-style Kissaki. Kissaki has small flaws but it is worthy appreciation.

From Aoi Art: The sword has small flaws on the Kissaki area, but the blade has nicely active Hamon.
This sword is suitable for Iai practice and also for appreciation.
