Wow, thanks a lot! I might have photographed this one... The archive is getting messy I am afriad.

 

 

Can you please tell us more about this blade Kirill?
Ha with nagare in Soshu-den
Tight ko-itame in Ji - but I don't see ko-nie or chikei
I would say it's a later blade than the Sadamune period

Its Sadamune but I unfortunately don't have the record which one exactly. Either Juyo Bunkazai or Kokuho or Jubi. There is a lot of chikei, unfortunately overcompressed version makes it hard to see, but there are definitely dark areas. I'll try to put the original somewhere and see also if I have better images of the same blade.

If you zoom out on the image it kinda makes it easier to see them snaking across the hada.
