Description

This elegant katana exemplifies the refined aesthetic of the mid to late Edo period. The blade displays an attractive midare (irregular) hamon pattern, featuring dynamic undulations and varied activity along the cutting edge. The koshirae represents the height of late Edo artistic craftsmanship, featuring museum-quality metalwork centered on a dramatic musha-e (warrior battle scene) theme.
