This sword's sugata and sheer presence is fearsome; it’s a hefty, big sword! Its mere sight would probably cause an enemy to abandon the thought of combat! It’s like a poem for the eyes. In my opinion, the saku has captured a fleeting moment of divine inspiration and frozen it in steel. The combination of this swords jigane, hamon and overall sugata give a presence that elevates this sword far above a mere weapon and into the realm of a spiritual stronghold; I have a sense that kami dwell in this sword and I love it!
I’ve included a photo of the saku to respectfully honour his memory.
