This 800-year-old tachi by Ko-Ichimonji Sukeyasu represents a rare transition period from Ko-Bizen to Fukuoka-Ichimonji traditions. It retains Ko-Bizen characteristics in shape and jiba while introducing ko-chôji. The blade is remarkably healthy for its age, featuring an active itame jihada and a nie-laden ko-midare-chô hamon, and is preserved with its two-character mei on a suriage nakago.
