The blade measures 42.6 cm with a graceful sori of 1.2 cm, displaying a practical and well-balanced sugata characteristic of Sengoku-period battlefield swords. The overall form suggests an older koto blade that was shortened and preserved for continued use across generations.

The hamon is subdued and elegant, consisting primarily of a gentle suguha-based pattern with slight undulations, giving the blade a calm and dignified appearance. The jihada shows visible flowing grain with old iron character consistent with late Muromachi workmanship.

The nakago bears a deep natural patina accumulated over centuries and exhibits the quiet atmosphere typical of authentic old Japanese swords.

Particularly noteworthy is the wartime mounting: the sword is housed in a Japanese Army leather-covered Type 98 guntō koshirae of shortened pattern associated with armored troops and tank officers, where compact dimensions were favored for practical carry inside military vehicles.
