This katana is attributed to Takada Munekage, a swordsmith from Bungo province active from the late Muromachi to early Edo period. It is o-suriage mumei (greatly shortened and unsigned), featuring a straight hamon with ko-ashi and yo, characteristic of Bungo Takada works. The jigane is a prominent o-itame with some masame and mokume, showing a dynamic and interesting grain. This blade combines the weightiness of Shinto with the charm of Koto, making it a fascinating piece for collectors.
