In connoisseur's book is that Sue-Seki school made also Hitatsura hamon in Soshu Nanbokucho tradition, Is thin nagasa point's to some specific Mino den swordsmith?
Thank you very much,
Bojan S.

菖蒲造り Shobu-dzukuri is forged into the shape of an Ayame Iris leaf.

 

Inspirational word play. It also sounds like 勝負造り　Shobu-dzukuri

 

勝(Katsu/Sho) Victory, or 負 (Makeru/bu) Defeat! This is it! All or nothing! Do or Die!

 

Great find, Bojan!
