Description

This is a shortened koto sword with a shinogizukure shape and iroi mune. The sakizori starts closer to the midpoint of the blade, similar to those seen around the Oei period (1393-1428). The tsuka has a Nagoyamono fuchi and silver menuki, and the saya seems to have been spray-painted gold over good black lacquer.
