Description

This is a fine Shinto-era wakizashi signed "Echizen no Fujiwara Sukehiro," displaying hallmarks of mid- to late-17th century blades with a balanced sugata, clear hada, and well-defined hamon. While it shows two tiny kizu, these add to its historical character rather than detracting from its integrity. The blade is currently valued as mumei due to the lack of shinsa papers, but could achieve proper attribution upon formal appraisal.
