thick blade with deep curvature and an extended kissaki.<br \/>\nIt retains its original ubu-ha (unpolished part near the habaki).<br \/>\nJigane:Finely forged ko-itame hada, resulting in an exceptionally refined steel texture.<br \/>\nHamon: Begins with a suguha at the hamachi, then transitions into a gunome-midare.<br \/>\nThe pattern consists of fine ko-gunome and ch\u014dji-midare, forming a continuous wave.<br \/>\nThe boshi is somewhat large and returns roundly.<\/p>\n<p>Features: Many of Yokoyama Sukekane&#8217;s works are inscribed as the 58th generation descendant of Tomonari,<br \/>\nbut this particular piece does not bear that inscription.<br \/>\nInstead, it is signed on the ura side with the date Ansei 7, February (1860).<br \/>\nThe hamon begins as suguha but transitions into a unique gunome-ch\u014dji-midare,<br \/>\nshowcasing the distinctive chrysanthemum ch\u014dji pattern.<br \/>\nThis style was pioneered by Yokoyama Sukenaga and later became a signature of the Yokoyama school.<br \/>\nIts intricate and elegant design made it a hallmark style passed down to his disciples.<\/p>\n<p>Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: The Yokoyama school was known for producing chrysanthemum-themed hamon,<br \/>\neven more so than Yokoyama Sukenaga himself.<br \/>\nThis is an extremely refined piece, demonstrating an exceptional level of craftsmanship.<br \/>\nThe beauty and precision of this work invite admiration for the skill required to create it.<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token Certificate<br \/>\nNBTHK Tokubetsu Kicho Token Certificate<br \/>\nAoi
