This blade is made of itame hada with fine chikei, and hamon with a mix of notare and midare, with gunome mixed in some places. The nioikuchi is very elegant with nie. The exterior features a sheath lacquered with a sprinkling of gold leaf and fitted with one-of-a-kind metal fittings decorated with gourds and pawns. These are all masterpieces produced by his local Hiroshima Prefecture artist and produced by Sadanao swordsmith himself. This tanto has a new world view not found in old works.
