Features: The Muramasa was a school of swordsmiths active in Kuwana, Ise Province, whose founder was Sengo Muramasa. The sword had been popular since that time for its sharpness and unique blade pattern with uniform front and back sides, but in the Edo period, the Tokugawa family considered Muramasa to be an abomination, and some of them were disposed of or had their inscriptions removed. <\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: This work is a typical Muramasa piece with the front and back blades aligned, and the\u3000Jigane is beautiful. The inscrption is clearly engraved, making it a rare piece. <\/p>\n
