Special feature : Izumi no kami Fujiwara Kanesada is the highest ranking sword of Mino katana along with Kanemoto. The mei texture is similar to that of Kanesada. However, the blade is rather different style to that of Kanesada so we do not think that this is genuine. Despite this fact, this katana has nice itame hada with jinie attached. There are beautiful jitetsu.From the hamon texture, it is observed that this is made from late Muromachi period to Keicho period. We recommend this good quality no kizu and flaw katana. If we removed the signature the blade will pass hozon.
