amazing hamon

[peter]

Hello Gents,

i was watching a auction on a wakizashi by Soshu Masahiro on komonjo ebay site,

Item number:140860789618 i wondered if anyone else seen it? the hamon on the piece looked to be not confined to the Ha but over the whole blade, is this a usual trait of this smith or school or a 1 of, i myself think it would look amazing in polish. any information on this or other blades like it is greatly apprieciated.

Thank you for the link Franco.

Generally are these blades sought after or is it an individual preference?

Both, go through and research the Soshu tradition.
