This is an excellent Yoshimichi wakazashi.  The work has incredible activity in it.  The sudareba is very well done and has an abundance of ashi.  Many hataraki are clearly visible and the sword has no flaws. It is in a fresh new polish that really has brought out the beauty of this sword.  The hada is silky and has a whitish appearance to it and is very tightly forged.  It has also the typical Mishina boshi style.  The overall shape, curvature and quality of this sword make this a fine wakazashi by Tamba No Kami Yoshimichi.
