For the enthusiast of a nice blade with bo-hi and big, clear hamon this is an outstanding work of Osaka Shinto. Terumasa lived and worked at first in Osaka before he moved to Kyoto. This blade was made around 1684. It is in a perfect condition and seems to be very strong. Also the mounts with this little butterflies is very nice and still simple. A superb Katana !
