NihontoWatchNihontoWatch江戸時代前期の初、二、三代には在銘作がなく、しかもその古調な風合いが感動を呼ぶことから、古赤坂(こあかさか)と尊称されている。八方に細い線を構成して梅花を配した作。地鉄の色は紫錆の呼称があるように、黒の中に渋い色調が混じって質朴な印象。微細な石目地で渋い光沢に包まれている。 保存刀装具鑑定書(古赤坂)

Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
