combined with inlay of iron and trace amounts of gold. Iron is of the
oroshigane type, highest quality and forged to perfection.
Tempering is exceedingly fine with tekkotsu.
A Kaneiye Saga piece from Hizen.
Appears very serene with religious overtone, as in the work of the first Kaneiye. Mountains and Temples are on the surface in taka-bori, the design being simple but classical.
