Japanese wakizashi with a traditionally forged blade measuring approximately 19 3/4 inches (50.2 cm), housed both in its black lacquered koshirae and a fitted shirasaya. Overall length approximately 28 3/4 inches.

The blade is unsigned (mumei) and accompanied by a NBTHK Hozon Token certificate (Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai), issued in Reiwa 5 (2023). The certificate attributes the blade to Hisahiro following NBTHK examination. The tang is ubu with three mekugi-ana.

Mounted in iron-mounted koshirae featuring an attractive iron tsuba with gold inlay decoration, traditional silk tsuka-ito over samegawa, black lacquer saya, habaki, and seppa. Also accompanied by its custom-fitted shirasaya for long-term blade preservation.

The blade exhibits an elegant sugata with visible hamon and healthy geometry. A desirable collector's example offered with Japanese authentication papers.
