We divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku, and Regular Saku.
\nThis sword is ranked as Jyo Saku in terms of craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

Habaki:Gold-plated double habaki
\nBlade Length:67.6 cm (26.61 in)
\nCurvature:2.0 cm (0.79 in)
\nMekugi Hole:1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba):3.00 cm (1.18 in)

\nThickness (Kasane):0.78 cm (0.31 in)
\nSword Weight:630 g (1.39 lbs)
\nEra:Late Edo Period<\/p>\n

Shape:The blade has a slightly wide mihaba (width), a slightly deep curvature, and an extended kissaki, giving it an elegant shape.
\nJigane (Steel Surface):The ko-itame hada is well-forged, resulting in an excellent steel texture.
\nHamon (Temper Line):It starts as a straight hamon from the hamachi, then transitions into a tight nioiguchi gunome and choji.
\nThe nioiguchi is well-closed, forming a flamboyant Yokoyama choji-midare.
\nThe boshi turns back in a rounded manner.<\/p>\n

Features:This sword comes with our evaluation certificate.
\nHowever, based on our assessment, it may receive a “hold” judgment at the Token Museum.
\nThe Kurashiki certificate states that this blade is a product of a workshop and likely made by a disciple.
\nI share the same judgment.
\nFormally, it should have the “Kikumon Ichi” engraving.
\nTherefore, it cannot be definitively classified as a counterfeit.<\/p>\n

Koshirae:
\nTsuba: Mokko-shaped iron tsuba with openwork carving of a plum blossom and bamboo leaves.
\nFuchi: iron plate carved with a ear of rice.
\nMenuki: a picture of a chiken. <\/p>\n
