A Japanese katana with a textured black scabbard and black sageo knot. The blade bears a single fuller on each side, as well as a wavy hamon along the length of the blade. The metal tsuba is textured similarly to wood and bears a floral cutout on the left side. The fuchi and kashira are decorated with bamboo motifs. There are two menuki, one on each side, bearing floral motifs and what may be the face of a creature at the center.
Japan, Second half of the 20th Century.
41 in., (104.1 cm.)
Condition: Good overall with some minor wear and some fingerprints on the blade. One mekugi peg is slightly dislodged.
