Description

This is an unsigned katana attributed to Sue Bizen from the late Muromachi period. It features a robust form with an extended kissaki and a well-forged mokume hada with faint utsuri. The hamon is a bright gunome midare with frequent ashi and sunagashi, and the boshi returns in a round shape. The sword comes with a copper-silver habaki, shirasaya, and a Type 32 Army officer's saber koshirae for two hands, including a field leather cover.
