\nJigane: Well-forged itame hada, tightly forged and mixed with mokume and flowing grain. Fine ji-nie is evenly distributed throughout the surface.
\nHamon: Beginning with suguha at the hamachi, the hamon gradually transitions into a notare-based pattern mixed with small gunome. Toward the tip, larger gunome, angular elements, and pointed gunome appear, creating a highly varied composition. Tobiyaki and muneyaki are also present. Numerous ko-ashi and y\u014d are visible, together with kinsuji and sunagashi. The boshi on the omote is gently notare, returning with a slightly pointed tip in a Mishina-style appearance. On the ura, the boshi is a small notare ending in an \u014dmaru-style turnback, extending deeply and finishing with hakikake.<\/p>\n

Special feature : Echigo no Kami Fujiwara Ujitsune was the second son of Wakasa no Kami Ujifusa and was originally known as Kawamura Heij\u016br\u014d. His earliest signature was Ujishige.

\nDespite its impressive length, this blade is exceptionally well balanced and free from any awkward proportions, displaying outstanding workmanship.
