This kogatana is a work by Fujiyasu Masahira, a contemporary swordsmith born in Fukushima Prefecture. It features a finely forged ko-itame hada and a bright, undulating hamon. The blade is engraved with ancient Chinese Jurchen script, the meaning of which is unknown even to the smith, who was inspired by its form.
