Bishuu Osafune Sukesada started from early Muromachi period
and been successful until Edo period.
At that time, demanding swords are increasingly high so mass
production system was introduced.
Special feature : The blade is Ubu style one hole nakago with regular size width,
thickness with deep sori and longer kissaki nice looking shape.
The jignae is item had and mokumehada mixed nice Jigane and utsuri appear.
HHamon is active gunome and Cyoji midair.
Even though the blade is called Kazuuchimono but the blade itself very nice Jigane
so the blade was made around Kyoroku era which is called Katateuchi style era.
