Features:
\nNariie of the Bizen Osafune school is said to have been a descendant of Kagehide, the younger brother of Mitsutada. He is traditionally regarded as belonging to the kozori group (a term referring to Osafune smiths outside the Kanemitsu lineage). However, as seen in this work, his style shows similarities to that of Kanemitsu, and the overall form appears more robust than typical late Nanbokuch\u014d examples, suggesting a somewhat earlier period. These characteristics may indicate a connection with Kanemitsu. The J\u016by\u014d zufu commentary notes his skill as being equal to, if not surpassing Masamitsu of the Kanemitsu school.<\/p>\n

From Aoi-Art:
\nThis work is characterized above all by its wide mihaba and bold, imposing form. Kozori is an attribution often applied to Osafune blades of the late Nanbokuch\u014d period; however, the sugata of this work is characteristic of early to mid Nanbokucho period.
\nThe jigane is bright with ji-nie, and the hada shows rich variation, giving the piece a powerful presence and making it highly impressive.<\/p>\n
