A single mekugi-ana is present in the tang, which is signed with 7 carved symbols on the left. The furniture follows the shirasaya pattern, with inlaid ebony panels around the mekugi. An extra mekugi, sized for a different sword, is also included.

ConditionExceptionally fine, with a few minor spots and rubs on the blade, and a proper dark patina on the tang. The silver portion of the habaki shows mild scuffs and dents, and the furniture shows mild dents and scuffs.
