This Wakizashi was made in between Mid-Edo Period and late Edo-Period. Sugu (straight lined Hamon) was purposely made, but there are some Notare that is a light wavy pattern. Also, the Nioikuchi, has some narrow parts and broad parts. Its Hamon is very natural and beautiful. There are no major scratch marks and remains in its original appearance.

The Koshirae is not as old as its blade and you can see some repaired parts. Its handle was made in the Late Edo Period (before 1868).

This is a beautiful Wakizashi offered at a reasonable price for any starter collection.
