Features: Among the works of the Aoe school, which flourished in Bitch\u016b Province from the Kamakura period through the Nanbokuch\u014d period, those dating to around the mid-Kamakura period are referred to as Ko-Aoe. Blades from the Kamakura period are often ko-niedeki with suguha hamon, whereas in the Nanbokuch\u014d period the hamon becomes brighter and clearer in nioi-deki, frequently showing suguha with saka-ashi or compositions featuring sakasa-ch\u014dji.<\/p>\n

This blade displays a packed jigane patterns with the characteristic ji-fu utsuri associated with Aoe. The hamon is a nioi-deki turbulent hamon, clearly demonstrating the typical features of Nanbokuch\u014d-period Aoe work. It is in healthy condition and of excellent quality.<\/p>\n

It is accompanied by a sayagaki, though its provenance is unknown.<\/p>\n
