Where does that designation come from?

Gary, great collection of Koto and Nanbokucho pieces! Thank you for sharing it with us. 
 

if only you could show the hada and hamon more closely and more clearly! But I understand the challenges of sword 🗡 photography as I am rather inept at it myself. So, thank you for your efforts and time on this.

The simple approach would be to read or have translated what the NBTHK origami says.
