It is very surprised that the blade was made by Ayasugi texture.
Generally speaking Gassan Sadakazu and Sadayoshi prodused aiming at restoration of the Ayasugi texture after long reserch and study.
Finally succeeded Aaysugi texture.
And they kept the making Ayasugi way is a Gassan school's top secret for a long period. But this sword will be reverse the story.
Therefor this sword might be precious data of the history of Ayasugi jigane.
I imagine Gassan Sadakazu and Sadayoshi might see his Ayasugi sword.
Before I have never seen such kind of Ayasugihada before Bunkyu era.
I don't know whether the blade will be precious data or not but I think the blade is wonderful perfect Ayasugi hada.
