An unsigned Japanese work measuring approximately 63.3 cm in length, with 1.7 cm of sori and a notably broad 33 mm motohaba. The wide profile gives it a substantial appearance, while the hamon features a fine suguha with gentle undulations. The jihada displays clearly visible itame grain, adding depth and texture to the steel.

The overall sugata and workmanship suggest a late Muromachi to early Momoyama period origin, approximately the 16th century..

The sword is mounted in Type 98 guntō koshirae with a leather-covered scabbard, typical of field-service mounts. The remounting of traditionally forged blades into military fittings was common during the wartime period, reflecting continued functional use.
