The jigane is a well-tempered ko-itame, and the hamon is a suguha with a very bright niioikuchi. The nakago is inscribed with “Omi Daijo Fujiwara Tadahiro.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmi Daijo Tadahiro was a master swordsmith representing Hizen-style swords who was active in Hizen Province (present-day Saga and Nagasaki Prefectures) from the early to mid-Edo period; he succeeded the name Tadayoshi as the second-generation master. He possessed the skill to forge an exceptionally fine and beautiful jigane, and is highly regarded as a master craftsman second only to his father, the first Tadayoshi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, the signature on this piece exhibits characteristics that make it difficult to authenticate as a work by Tadahiro, so we are selling it as an unsigned piece.
