This work features a dango choji-ba (dumpling-shaped clove border) that borders on hitatsura, with beautiful ji-nie. The interior of the ha is filled with active kinsuji and sunagashi, resulting in a fierce workmanship that can be called the pinnacle of Soden (Soshu tradition) inherited from his master's style. Soshu Hirotsugu was a swordsmith who resided in Kamakura, Soshu. Following the Nanbokucho period, he was a mainstream representative of Soshu smithing succeeding Masamune and Sadamune, and is a leading smith in the lineage of Hiromitsu, Hirotsugu, and Hiromasa. Surprisingly, there are few tanto by the Soshu mainstream that come with Hozon Token papers, and a sword with such fiercely midare workmanship at such a low price rarely appears. Because Soden blades are quenched at very high temperatures, fukure (blisters) occasionally appear; this blade has a small fukure that can be seen depending on the angle of the light when viewing the ha. It is not something that usually stands out. Additionally, the itame-hada appears somewhat rough in places, but this too is not at a level that is normally bothersome. While these points are captured exaggeratedly in the photos, this is a Soden masterpiece that more than compensates for them. With sword prices currently soaring, it is becoming difficult to supply a mainstream Soshu sword of this quality at such a bargain price. Both in terms of brand and highlights, it is a highly recommended piece as a first family heirloom. 165,000 Yen (Tax included)
