This mumei katana features a blade length of 64.3 cm with a graceful curvature of 1.64 cm, reflecting a well-balanced design between functionality and classical aesthetics. The hamon is clearly visible in a suguha style, flowing elegantly along the blade. The hada (grain pattern) appears visible, likely of itame type or a mixed variant, showing especially along the body of the blade. The surface has some light abrasions and wear from use, but the blade remains structurally sound. The tang (nakago) is unsigned, with a single mekugi-ana, suggesting the possibility of shortening or remounting. The aging patina of the tang suggests it may date from the mid Edo. Mounting (Koshirae) The sword comes in a complete and elegant koshirae mount: Tsuba: Iron with openwork floral design. It shows natural aging and dark patina. Fuchi/Kashira: Iron fittings decorated with silver accents, featuring butterfly or floral motifs. Tsuka: Black cotton tsuka-ito over white samegawa (rayskin).
