Nioikuchi and turns back sharply.
Special feature: We have only a few Hizen Kuni Junin Hironori works. Not many books say about this swordsmith, but we have some description that he is from the Keicho period, so we can think that he could be a ghostwriter of Tadayoshi 1st. This work has quite similar Nakago and the shape to Musashi Daijo works. The carving is like Yoshinaga carving. It is historically important in the research of Hizento.
From Aoi Art: This work is designated as Juyo Token. The carving is beautiful. We truly recommend this to you. We have only a few works by him and he should have been ghostwriting for Tadayoshi the 1st.
