Description

This is a katana by Fujiwara Usaku (Suzuki Munehide), born in Himeji, Harima Province in the 11th year of Kanei. The blade features a narrow tip compared to the base, a high curvature, and a chu-kissaki. The jigane is a tightly packed ko-itame-hada with fine chikei and minute ji-nie covering the surface. The hamon is a nie-deki midare-ba mixed with suguha, showing kinsuji and sunagashi, reminiscent of a masterwork from the Soshu tradition.
