From Aoi-Art: The fact that the blade patterns on the front and back are aligned despite the complexity of the pattern shows Toshizane’s aesthetic sense and the high level of skill that made this possible. It is also desirable that the blade pattern is clear and visible. The arrangement is also an attractive piece with a harmonious design.<\/p>\n
