Wakizashi unsigned
Blade length 43.9cm, thickness at the base 7mm, width 3.0cm
This is a nice wakizashi probably from 15-16th century. It is originally unsigned. But it looks like a blade of Mino tradition.
Steel has a visible wood grain layer pattern.
Hamon is mainly made of small particles, and some large particles. It is bright. And many attractive activities appear around the hamon. Those are kinsuji, sunagashi, and some others. Utsuri starts at the starting of hamon, and runs into shinogi-ji.
The polishing is the classical style. It is not very new, so the surface has some scratches. But good enough to study the blade.
The total taste of this blade shows the typical style of the blade of Mino tradition.
