Tokubetsu Hozon 2nd Gen Yasutsugu Long Katana Orikaeshi Mei in Fine Koshirae

[Bowen]

For sale is a Tokubetsu Hozon 2nd gen Yasutsugu katana with orikaeshi mei in fine koshirae. Looking at the length of the blade and orikaeshi mei, I thought this could very well be an odachi originally. Tsuba is iron while the other fittings are sakudo, with dragon and tiger motifs in gold. Double layer gold foil habaki. All without damages or losses.
