Description

This formidable katana was forged in February 1866 by Katsumura Norikatsu, one of the most accomplished smiths of the Shinshintô period. It features an extraordinary masame-hada with ji-nie and chikei, and a bright suguha hamon with rich activities. The sword is accompanied by an exceptional set of Late Edo period koshirae, likely original to the sword, depicting an autumn garden theme.
