Appraisal Quiz : #298


Previous answer is
Mumei (Yokoyama Suketada))

Special feature : At the NBTHK, judged as Yokoyama Suketada but I think If the suketada,
The Hamon is more simple. So I think the blade looks like Yokoyama Sukekane
first generation because the Hamon is very active without faults Juka Choji midair
which is typical nice Sukekane. Even though the blade is unsigned Ubu naaakago,
the blade is very nice Jigane and Hamon.
