\nSword Weight: 905 g
\nEra: Late Edo period
\nShape: Wide blade and thick kasane, although it has been shortened. The kissaki is slightly long, and the signature area is rusted. Mitsumune. It is heavy.
\nJigane: Ko-itame hada, well-forged and beautiful.
\nHamon: A line-like ko-gunome-midare, with the hamon continuing irregularly into the kissaki.<\/p>\n

Features: The tang is rusted and the signature is difficult to read, but \u201cTairyuusai Sokan\u201d can be seen. The reverse side is dated May, Genji 1 (1864). The upper section has a well-defined hamon in ko-gunome-midare. The kissaki shows gunome-midare, returning in a komaru style.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: Tairyuusai Sokan lived in Fukagawa Hakozaki, Edo, and is said to have been a student of Koyama Munetsugu. He produced wide, robust blades, and some works show utsuri. His early works were often in the style of Koyama Munetsugu, but later he developed a distinct style with ko-gunome-midare featuring aligned heads and utsuri throughout. His works resemble those of his master Munetsugu and are typically well-crafted, with few flaws. This piece has rust on the tang where the signature is, which is regrettable, but the upper part is in good condition and is recommended.<\/p>\n
