Sayagaki (Inscription on the Shirasaya) by Tanobe Sensei:
\nSasshu Oku Yamato no Kami Ason Motohira.
\nTogether with Hoki no Kami Masayuki, this swordsmith was one of the leading representatives of the Shinshinto Satsuma tradition.
\nThe blade bears his nine-character signature, accompanied by the date 1795 (Kansei 7).
\nBlade length: 2 shaku 3 sun 7 bu, approximately 71.82 cm (28.28 in).
\nInscribed by Tanzan on an auspicious day in late autumn of the Hinoe-Uma year (2026), with kao.
\nThe blade has a relatively wide mihaba, substantial niku, deep curvature with pronounced koshizori, and a slightly elongated chu-kissaki, creating a powerful and dynamic sugata.
\nThe jigane displays the exceptionally refined forging characteristic of this swordsmith, with abundant ji-nie and vivid chikei, producing a remarkably clear and brilliant appearance.
\nThe hamon consists of a vigorous gunome-midare with pointed elements, a deep nioiguchi, and abundant nie mixed with coarse nie.
\nNie-suji and sunagashi are prominent, while the nioiguchi is exceptionally bright and clear.
\nThis is truly an outstanding masterpiece, demonstrating the finest qualities of the swordsmith’s most productive period.<\/p>\n

Features: Oku Yamato no Kami Taira Ason Motohira was the son of Motonao and was commonly known as Kozaemon.
\nHe received the honorary title of Yamato no Kami in 1789 (Kansei 1) and passed away on July 15, 1826 (Bunsei 9), at the age of 83.
\nThis blade has a wide mihaba, substantial niku, and deep curvature, giving it a magnificent and commanding overall shape.
\nForged during Motohira’s prime, it demonstrates exceptional craftsmanship and is a highly recommended example of his work.<\/p>\n
