This exceptional katana originates from the Sengoku period (1583), showcasing the masterful craftsmanship of its era. The blade retains its original beauty with a striking hamon—the distinctive hardened edge pattern—that glistens along its length, revealing the swordsmith's expertise in differential hardening techniques. The blade bears a partial signature, with the maker's mark partially obscured due to historical shortening of the blade. Despite this reduction, the sword remains a significant artifact of 16th-century Japanese weaponry, offering collectors and historians a tangible connection to feudal Japan's most turbulent period.
