Not For Sale |
"A rounded square shape with the motif of bamboo in the wind. The seppa-dai is pointed, there is linear tekkotsu in the rim, the metal is of very good quality, the surfaces appear polished, and the forms are thick and full-bodied. The guard has a look of antique elegance. It gives sufficient evidence of the style of the first master Tadamasa." (Long) Accompanied with NBTHK Hozon Paper & Sato Kanzan Hakogaki. (see below) |
