We divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku.
\nThis work is ranked as Jyojyo Saku for Yasutoku.
\nHabaki: Single-layered gold-covered Habaki
\nBlade Length: 66.6 cm (26.22 in)
\nCurvature: 2.0 cm (0.79 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 2.86 cm (1.13 in)
\nWidth at Tip (Sakihaba): 1.87 cm (0.74 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 0.63 cm (0.25 in)
\nSword Weight: 635 g
\nEra: October, 1935
\nShape: A wide blade with thick kasane and slightly long boshi.
\nJigane: Well-forged ko-itame hada with refined texture, clearly showing the grain. A faint shiraha (visible tempered line) appears.
\nHamon: Ko-nie based gunome-midare with active ashi, showing characteristics of the Rai school. The boshi returns in a round shape.<\/p>\n

Features: Yasunori is regarded as the most skilled swordsmith among those who worked at the Yasukuni Shrine. While many Yasukuni swords tend to show little forging pattern, Yasunori, along with Yasuoki, are known for their skill in revealing beautiful hada.
\nYasukuni swords were mostly made under government support to produce superior swords.
\nEven today, swords made at Yasukuni Shrine are evaluated as \u201cYasukuni-to\u201d and evoke memories of the pre-war period in Japan.
\nThese swords are expected to continue being highly appreciated overseas.
\nThis Yasukuni-to by Yausnori, one of the finest among them, comes highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Historical Background: Pre-war, October 1935<\/p>\n
