Special feature : Hidanokami Ujifusa was born in Eiroku 10th year（1567） as the son of Wakasa Kami Ujifusa.
He has learned the skills of forging from his father and then moved to the Nagoya-jyo castle town to make swords.
The famous Owari sword smiths at the time are Nobutaka, Ujisada, Masatsune and others and were very active at the time.
The hamon is typical curvy style which is somewhat similar to Kanefusa.
This sword is very good work and it has NBTHK Tokubetsu Kicyo token, but the signature is questionable.
So we don't guarantee the signature at this time.
