Appraisal Quiz #676


Previous answer is
  Mumei (Rai Kunitoshi)
無銘(来国俊) 

Special Feature: Among Koto, ones with Shinogiji can give us more
information of Jigane. In this work, Jigane is the same as the one on
the surface of Shinogiji, that’s why we can identify this work as
“made in the Kamakura period.” Jigane is beautiful, Hamon is clean,
and it still keeps itself as Wazori: we can see how old it is. Rai
Kunitoshi is said to be a son of Rai Kuniyuki.
