NihontoWatchBETAThis sword is one of the greatest masterpieces by Inoue Shinkai, who is acclaimed as the Yokozuna of Osaka Shinto and the "Osaka Masamune." It is in shinogi-zukuri with an iori-mune, the sori is shallow, and it has a chu-kissaki. The jigane is a finely packed ko-itame hada with abundant ji-nie. The hamon is based on chu-suguha with shallow notare and traces of hotsure; the nioiguchi is deep with thick ko-nie and sunagagashi. It appears he aimed for the style of the Soshu Juko (high-level masters), specifically taking Go Yoshihiro as his ideal. The jiba (blade and grain) of this sword is exceptionally clear and vibrant, with deep nie and abundant ko-nie, fully demonstrating the strengths of Inoue Shinkai. It is a masterpiece that stands as a representative work among all of Inoue Shinkai's blades.
