Beautiful Muromachi Era NBTHK Hozon katana circa 1500 to 1550 that I acquired in August 2022. This katana came in shirasaya with koshirae, and full length of tsunagi. This is a lovely addition to my Nihonto collection and is an excellent example of smiths from Sakakura Seki. Very nice suguha hamon with very active nie and nioi running along the length. The overall sugata is very elegant and relatively small in overall length.
