It's been 4 years of searching but finally it paid off. A wakizashi by Norikatsu, my favorite smith, with masame hada that's as spectacular as it comes. The masame on this work is utterly violent, with thick nie abundant and chikei all over the sword. Hirauchi shape. A magnificent short sword to pair with my Katana by the same smith. Sorry for the poor pictures, I got in late and pressed for time.

Suifu-jū Norikatsu saku ‒ Bunkyū gannen sangatsu hi

“Made by Norikatsu, a resident of Mito, on a day of the third month Bunkyū one (1861)"
