notare elements, resembling the hamon of Nagasone Kotetsu.<\/p>\n<p>Features: Both the first and second generations of \u014cmi no Kami H\u014dj\u014dji Tachibana Masahiro inscribed their signatures in a nearly identical manner.<br \/>\nHe was one of the leading swordsmiths of the H\u014dj\u014dji school in Edo, and his style closely resembles that of Nagasone Kotetsu.<br \/>\nBoth the first and second generations were known for their exceptional cutting ability.<\/p>\n<p>Koshirae (Mountings):<br \/>\nTsuba (Handguard):An iron tsuba in the Otafuku-gata shape, engraved with Mitsukashiwa-mon

cap).<\/p>\n<p>Aoi Art\u2019s Comment:The first and second generations likely worked together, as their works are nearly indistinguishable.<br \/>\nThe signature style from the Kanbun era of the first generation is so similar to that of the second that it is difficult to differentiate between them.This is a highly recommended piece.<\/p>\n<p>NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Token<br \/>\nAoi Art Estimation
