\nCompared to Fukuoka Ichimonji, their hamon tends to be gentler in appearance.
\nThis piece was originally a naginata that was later reshaped into a wakizashi.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: The sayagaki by Kanzan Sensei states that this blade is “one of a daisho passed down in the Shogunal family.”
\nThis suggests that the sword likely belonged to a noble family of distinguished lineage and was treasured over generations.
\nIts elegant form remains intact today, evoking an endless fascination when imagining who once wielded it.
\nHighly recommended.<\/p>\n
