This long koto daito shows many hataraki (activity) within the hamon.  The hamon is a large gunome-midare mix that is very healthy and attractive.  The milky colored hada is forged well and can be seen clearly.  Some course hada is found within the bo-hi but in the ji-hada it is tightly forged overall.  This signed koto katana comes with good mounts.
