Era Nanbokucho Period
\nShape: The previous attribution was to the lineage of Nagayoshi, but it is now believed to be a disciple\u3000of Chikakuni. The abundance of large-sized swords during the Nanbokucho period reflects the\u3000turbulent historical background of that era.
\nJigane: Well-forged, finely textured itame hada with a hint of mokume hada.
\nHamon: A prominent midare (irregular) hamon with abundant ashi (feet), sand patterns (sunagashi), and fine nie (martensitic crystals). The boshi (temper pattern at the tip) is irregular
\nwith two lines of nie.<\/p>\n

Characteristics: The previous attribution was to the lineage of Nagayoshi, but it is now believed\u3000to be a disciple of Chikakuni. The abundance of large-sized swords during the Nanbokucho
\nperiod reflects the turbulent historical background of that era.<\/p>\n

From Aoi Art: This blade is undoubtedly a work from the Nanbokucho period. It displays a\u3000strong hamon with clear activities, including sunagashi and close nie. The condition of the tang\u3000is excellent, and with further polishing, this piece could become quite significant. Regardless, it is\u3000undoubtedly a remarkable piece and one I highly recommend.
\nHistorical Context: The Nanbokucho period was characterized by battles on horseback, resulting\u3000in a prevalence of longer swords.<\/p>\n
