The hamon is filledwith streaking sunagashi throughout its length.The blade is signed Noshuju Tashiro Kakubei. Tashiro Kakubei was the given name for the swordsmith Kanenobuworking in the mid-1600’s from Mino. He was one of the smiths that kept the famousMino tradition from the 1500’s going. It is likely the sword was signedKanenobu and that has been truncated as the nakago has been shortened. Kanenobuis ranked Chu Jo Saku by Fujishiro, but given the workmanship displayed here, I expect this sword was one of his better works.The mountings are the rarehigh end and early Type 94 ShinGunto and in Near MINTcondition.
