Edo was the sword’s age of connoisseurship: the Hon’ami appraisers, the shogunal register of famous blades of 1719, and a thriving literature turned the sword into an object of study even as it ceased to be drawn in war.
姿 中薙刀、上手な薙刀樋を掻き、総体に整った良い姿。 地鉄 匂出来。板目良く詰み、地景入り精良。 刃紋 互の目、刃縁に沸がこごり、刃が沈みごころ。 帽子 尖り心に深く返る。
