vivid midare-utsuri, the texture of the itame-hada, and the flamboyant hamon consisting of choji mixed with gunome, pointed elements, and kawazu-no-ko characteristics are notable features.<br \/>\nThe active ashi and yo, together with the soft, bright, and clear nioiguchi, closely connect this blade to the signed works of the same smith.<br \/>\nAn exceptionally healthy and outstanding superior

swordsmith active in Bizen Province during the middle Kamakura period, around the Shoo era (1288-1293).<br \/>\nHe was the son of Hatakeda Moriie and was commonly known as Yajiro.<br \/>\nHis workmanship closely resembles that of Moriie.<\/p>\n<p>Excerpt from the Juyo Token Zufu:<br \/>\nThis blade is an o-suriage mumei katana, and the attribution to Hatakeda Sanemori is considered appropriate.<br \/>\nThe somewhat standing itame-hada is a notable characteristic of the Hatakeda school.<br \/>\nThe hamon combines choji and gunome elements and includes kawazu-no-ko features, all of which deserve close attention.<br \/>\nThe blade remains in relatively healthy condition, with excellent jigane and hamon.<br \/>\nAlthough it does not quite equal the works of Moriie overall, particularly in the boshi, it is nevertheless a highly accomplished and finely made example.<\/p>\n<p>Juyo Token (12th Session).<br \/>\nAoiArt estimation paper: Whole Oshigata.<\/p>\n<p>Please note:
