Description

This antique Katana was forged by Choshu Ju Nioh Masakiyo in 1693, during the early Edo Period. He was a descendant of the Nioh school founder, Kiyotsuna, and his works are characterized by wide mihaba and thick kasane. The blade also features an inscription "Senshu Banzai" (eternal prosperity and longevity), making it a talismanic sword.
