A very attractive Mino katana signed, Hizen Kuni Ju Tadayoshi. Suriage, machiokure. Shinogizukure, iroi mune, chukissaki. Hawatare: 2 shaku 2 sun 9 bu 5 rin, (69.53 cm or 27.375"). Motohaba: 2.843. Sakihaba: 18.17 Kasane: 6.64. mm. Konie deki, gunome notare midare, rich controlled habuchi, nado. Itame nagare, slightly hadatatsu. A few stains, but this can be appreciated as is without another polish.
Mounted in kyugunto with a family mon in silver on the back strap. Some wear to the scabbard, but no dents.
Normally, I would list signature examples along side the picture of the mei. However, Tadayoshi / Tadahiro signed all of their long swords tachimei, and wakizashi katanamei, So the signature is on the wrong side. Still and all this is a very attractive shinto katana in collectable mounts.
