This Katana is signed Jumyō and comes with NBTHK Hozon papers, classifying it as a Shintō period work from the Edo-period Jumyō lineage. Measuring 62.4 cm with a shallow 1.0 cm sori, it features a tight ko-itame jihada and a suguha-chō hamon, reflecting the disciplined steel and practical design expected from a Mino-lineage workshop. The blade is presented in a complete katana koshirae with a black roiro-nuri saya, an iron mokkō tsuba with a landscape design, and long dragon menuki.

Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
