\nThe nakago is ubu and bears an eight-character signature. The smith is known as one of the Three Great Swordsmiths of Owari. This work has the typical sugata of a Keicho-shinto blade and displays a stately, flowing notare-based hamon with variations, a style in which the smith particularly excelled.

Together with his father, Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa, who served as a retained swordsmith of Oda Nobunaga, he moved from Mino to Owari. During his youth, he served the Oda clan as a page. After his lord, Oda Nobutaka, was defeated in the struggle over Nobunaga’s succession and forced to take his own life, Ujifusa turned to swordsmithing and studied under his father, Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa, and Hoki no Kami Nobutaka.
