This elegant katana dates to the late Muromachi period (c. 1550–1600), a time of continual warfare when swords were forged for practical battlefield use yet still retained artistic refinement. The blade is mumei, as is typical for many Sengoku-era swords, but its form and workmanship clearly reflect high-quality regional traditions.

The sword features a graceful shinogi-zukuri shape with a gentle tori-zori curvature, offering both cutting efficiency and balanced handling. Its defining characteristic is the flowing notare-midare hamon, composed of soft, wave-like undulations and a bright, active nioi-guchi. This style is commonly associated with strong Bizen and Mino influences during the period.

The ko-itame jihada displays a tight grain that becomes visible as the light moves across the polished surface. Together with the controlled heat treatment, it reflects the skill of late-Muromachi smiths who balanced durability with aesthetic appeal.

The tang (nakago) has two mekugi-ana, suggesting the sword saw service and was remounted during its long life — a hallmark of authentic Sengoku-era blades. The chū-kissaki provides a practical, well-proportioned tip suited for both cutting and thrusting.

The accompanying koshirae displays refined Edo-period styling. The iron tsuba pairs with gold-accented fuchi-kashira, while the dark green tsuka-ito wrapped over samegawa creates a dignified military presence. The lacquered saya completes the mount, offering a cohesive and traditional aesthetic.

As an authentic late-Muromachi katana with attractive hamon and period koshirae, this sword represents the warrior culture of Japan’s Sengoku age — functional, elegant, and historically significant.

Great oil and makes my engine run quieter
I noticed the engine running much quieter using this oil. The pour mouth is pretty unique for this brand, you can just open the interior cap, pull up the accordion neck and pour into the engine which provides better control over traditional wide mouth, thus less messy. This oil rarely goes on sale and is typically 1.5x to 2x more expensive than the more common US brands.

FRIENDLY REMINDER Don't overtighten the bolts
MUCH better than the cheap plastic OEM part, Just a reminder though, these thread into an aluminum block so be very careful to start them finger tight first, then evenly tighten both bolts to push the fitting into the chamber. If you don't, it will slightly misalign and you run the risk of stripping the threads. The one comes with the replacement o ring, and be sure to get some antifreeze on that seal prior to attempting to push it into the chamber. IT IS A TIGHT FIT, but that's what you want, so just be careful. You might also want an extra hose clamp on hand, as the one that came with this began to bend as it got tight, so I had to replace it for peace of mind. Overall, great product though.
