Special feature : First generation Musashi Daijyo Sakon Korekazu was working
at Oumi province as Oumi ishido.
He moved to Edo and worked making Ichimonji style swords. At that period,
Mitsuhira also moved to Edo from Oumi province.
Korekazu hamon is very similar with Mitsuhira hamon.
Many years ago I found very nice Mitsuhira wakizashi in USA and brought back to Japan.
Probably This sword was accompanied with Katana daisy set.
On the shinto taiken, I found quite same sword Daito which was made as Shinsyu Matsushiro .
Anyway this Korekazu is very active same hamon of Mitsuhira Matsushiro chi.
It is very interesting signature. On the moot side, the signature is Musashi Daijyo Fuji
and on the back side, the signature is wara Sakon Korekazu Saku.
It is very rare to see such kind of signature.
We recommend this nice sword for you.
