This JUMYÔ  is a later generation in the shin-shinto period of; JUMYÔ KÔANSAI [TENNA 1681 MINO] SHINTÔ CHÛJÔSAKU

                He is called Kondô Sôzaemon, he was named a Bhuddist Priest (Hokkyô) in Tenna Sannen (1683), and he died at the age of 84 in Genroku Jûrokunen (1703).

The quality is evident on this sword.  The beautiful and elegant shape of this sword is only added to by the active hamon and the quality of the Jigane make this a fine sword.  The hada is a beautiful Itame.  The hamon is O-chogi mixed with Saka choji with an incredible abundance of  Hataraki.  It is Nioi-deki and you can find many Nioi kuzure, Inazuma,and Ashi.  In hand the Hataraki can really be appreciated much more as there is more than can be seen in the picture below.

This wakizashi is very well made and is attributed to a later generation Shinto Jumyo smith.  The hada is a very tightly made Itame.  It has a very beautiful well forged Jigane.  The billowing Gunome Hamon is nie with nio mixed in, and very well done. The Hamon has a lot of Sunagashi and many other Ha-taraki.  Some of the hamon extends up to the Shinogi and is beautiful.
