Hasebe from Yamashiro Province

Blade length 27.3 cm

Written by Tanzan [Tanobe Michihiro] in February of the year of the hare of this era (2023)+ monogram.

This blade has an ubu-nakago and is mumei and is of the Enbun-Joji shape from the Nanbokucho period. It is hardened in a nie-laden midare that appears as hitatsura and that features somewhat angular gunome elements. With this, the ha being of relatively uniform width along the upper and bottom half, and the thin kasane, the blade is a masterwork that reflects the typical characteristics of the Hasebe School.
