Features: Bish\u016b Osafune Morimitsu is regarded as one of the finest swordsmiths of the \u014cei-Bizen tradition, particularly admired for the beauty of his jigane. His works typically display a nioi-based gunome-midare mixed with ch\u014dji-midare, together with an exceptionally refined jigane. Along with Morimitsu, Sanemitsu, and Yasumitsu, he was one of the three outstanding Osafune smiths active during the \u014cei era. This blade exhibits especially beautiful jigane with distinct utsuri. The boshi forms an irregular pattern that tapers to a shape resembling a candle wick. The blade has been expertly polished and is an excellent example of his workmanship.<\/p>\n
