Special Feature: Hisakatsu the 1st was worked around Ouei period and the
2nd was worked in Eisho period. From the condition, we
think this sword was made by the 1st generation.

From Aoi Art: We will talk more specific. Actually, the sword is complex a
little. The swords style is the 1st’s style but the oldness is
not Ouei era. We think this sword was made just before
Hisakatsu changed to the 2nd generation. The sword looks
simple but when you watch carefully, there are a lot of
Sunagashi, Kinsuji and many other effects working in the
blade.
Also, Nakago also in the best condition and Yasurime is
clear.We think you can enjoy the blade for a long time. We
strongly recommend you this interesting sword. There are
some rusts, if you prefer to polish it, it will take about extra
50,000yen.

Aoi Art estimation paper: whole Oshigata.
