Original Description:
Antique Early Edo Katana Signed With Papers In Gorgeous Tiger-striped Shirasaya.
I originally bought this katana from AOI Japan. I paid 400, 000 yen plus shipping ($3750 usd). I hate to sell such a spectacular piece but I am looking to fund a new home purchase. My loss is your gain. You won’t find a nicer piece with Hozon papers for the price I listed it for.
It comes with Hozon papers, Tiger striped shirasaya, and full Oshigata.

Boshi is round shape.
special feature: Musashi Ju Hosei Hujiwara Muneharu probably the student of the first generation Korekazu.
From Aoi-Art: Muneharu was working at Musashi province Meireki era.I think He was a student of the Korekazu who came from Kisyu Ishido school. The hamon looks like Katayama ichimonji style.Probably he helped his master for making swords during his life.So We can see few swords even right now.The sword looks like first generation Korekazu. On the Jigane, very few utsuri aooear and akso nice Shirasaya (tiger style saya).
