Shinshinto: Bizen
\nWe divide 4 sections for each sword as Saijyo Saku, Jyojyo Saku, Jyo Saku and Regular Saku.
\nThis work is ranked as Jyojyo Saku for Bizen Osafune ju Yokoyama Suketada.
\nHabaki: Single-layered gold-covered
\nBlade Length: 63.64 cm (25.05 in)
\nCurvature: 1.82 cm (0.72 in)
\nMekugi Hole: 1
\nWidth at Base (Motohaba): 3.13 cm (1.23 in)
\nWidth at Tip (Sakihaba): 2.19 cm (0.86 in)
\nThickness of rim (Kasane): 0.69 cm (0.27 in)
\nSword Weight: 710 g
\nEra: Meiji 3 (1870)
\nShape: The blade has slightly wide width and a solid thickness, with moderate curvature.
\nThe kissaki is extended, and the blade is well-preserved with a long untempered section (ubu-ha).
\nJigane: Ko-itame hada, well-forged and nearly plain.
\nThe shinogiji shows a masame-free texture, clearly reflecting the characteristics of the Yokoyama school.
\nHamon: Choji-midare in nioi-deki style, working actively.
\nFrom the hamachi, the hamon starts as suguha and transitions into a beautiful choji, resembling the styles of Yokoyama Sukekane and Sukenaga.<\/p>\n

Features:
\nThe works of the Yokoyama school are characterized by their distinctive, beautiful choji hamon.
\nMany swordsmiths created similar styles under the traditions of Yokoyama Sukekane and Sukenaga.
\nThis type of choji hamon is technically difficult to produce, making this a flawless and remarkable work.
\nWe highly recommend this sword.
\nIn Meiji 4 (1871), the Hait\u014drei (Sword Abolishment Edict) was issued, banning the production of Japanese swords.
\nMany swordsmiths lost their livelihoods.
\nAs Suketada was a highly skilled swordsmith at the time, he likely faced extreme hardship during this period.<\/p>\n

Koshirae:
\nTsuba: Round iron tsuba with openwork carving of peony design.
\nMenuki: Peony motif in high relief with gold detailing on shakudo base.
\nFuchikashira: Peony motif in high relief with gold detailing on shakudo base.
\nSaya (Scabbard): Black roiro lacquer saya with carved section.\u3000<\/p>\n
