Another look at this nice blade from the Muromachi period. • This is a beautiful Koto Bizen province wakizashi from the Osafune school with an elaborate Orikaeshi-Mei. This is where the mei is folded to the other side when shortened. It probably was a katana that was shortened to a big name they wanted to keep. A neat and rare piece of history. • Mei: 長船國宗 Osafune Kunimune • Hamon: Gunome choji-midare; nioi deki • Nagasa (blade): 53.6 cm (21 1/6 ) • Nakago (tang): 14.1cm (5 9/16 ) • Whole length: 67.7cm (26
