A beautiful blade Brano congratulations. A long time ago when I focused almost exclusively on Hizen blades I had a wakizashi by Shodai Masahiro which I loved. I have also seen a number of katana by this smith that are of equally high quality. We should also Remember that when Shodai Tadayoshi (Tadahiro) died his son and heir was only 19 years old. He was greatly supported by Shodai and Nidai Masahiro and I think it is not only a testament to his great skill as a smith but also as a teacher that Shodai Masahiro deserves the high reputation he enjoys.

A great looking work and beautifully photographed. Well done
