"Unsigned Goto (Momoyama) family, 4th, 5th, 6th generation.
Shakudo nanako ground, set crest high carving inlay, gold and silver color painting.
The nanako and gold and silver color painting on the kozuka are worn by hand, giving it a glossy and elegant taste.
The blade, ridge, and back plate have some scratches and small marks, and there is a slight dent near the edge of the back plate." (E. Long) |
