Osafune Morikage wakizashi with koshirae

[Ray Singer]

It would be difficult to find a healthier Nanbokucho period blade than this one. Middle Nanbokucho wakizashi with papers to Bizen Osafune Omiya Morikage. Classic Nanbokucho sugata with a wide mihaba and long kissaki. The blade has a healthy and flawless jitetsu, with a tight itame hada and a bright suguha-based hamon, with kinsuji and ashi. In excellent Japanese polish, shirasaya and silver habaki with accompanying koshirae.
