Description:
This is a very respectable 500 year-old sword that has a refined elegance to it.
It’s the lovely curvature of this sword that sets it apart. The curvature is over 2cm, which is very desirable amongst collectors, and brings with it a balance that looks wonderful on display.
Edo-period mountings bring character to the piece, and its long, clean well-forged body is one to admire.
This is a terrific find, one that exudes a sense of stillness. It will bring positive energy to the room which it will make its home within.
